How to Compost Garden Waste
First, mix approximately the same weight of green garden waste (i.e., cut grass) with brown waste (i.e., dead plants).
Once the material is well mixed, chop it up as much as possible to speed up the composting process. You can use a machete or sharp shovel, or a lawn mower to press over the mixture. Or you can put the mixture in a metal bin and chop it up with a weed whacker. The smaller the material, the faster it will break down.
