Create a Backyard Compost Pile: An Alternative to Yard Waste Removal in Bedford, TX

 

Every year, homeowners, business owners, and other residents of the Dallas Metropolitan take out to the curb thousands of tons of grass clippings, fallen leaves, prunings, brush, branches, and other sources of yard waste. Unfortunately, much of that waste ends up in our already overburdened landfill system where it contributes to methane gas emissions, one of the most potent greenhouse gasses. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that, “in 2018, landfills received about 10.5 million tons of yard trimmings, which comprised 7.2 percent of all municipal solid waste (MSW) landfilled.” 

One simple way to cut back on the amount of yard waste we send to the dump is by creating a simple backyard compost pile. In this short article, we offer a succinct explanation for how to compost your yard waste. We also explain why Junk King of Dallas is the best option for getting rid of your yard waste if you don’t have the time, space, energy, or means to create compost the material on your own. Junk King of Dallas is proud to be the top-rated junk removal company servicing homeowners, businesses, and other residents in the entire Dallas metropolitan area, including the towns of Balch Springs, Dallas, Fate, Ferris, Forney, Garland, Hutchins, Josephine, Mesquite, Princeton, Red Oak, Rockwall, Rowlett, Royse City, Sachse, Seagoville, Sunnyvale, and Wilmer.

 

How to Compost your Yard Waste

 

When you decide to compost your yard waste in your yard, not only will you be reducing the total amount of waste you send to the landfill, but you will also be getting an enormous amount of fertile compost that you can spread on your vegetable garden, flower beds, fruit trees, or on your lawn. Soil that a healthy amount of compost is also able to hold much more water than the hard, compacted soil that tends to characterize most lawns. By some estimates, for every acre that has an extra one percent of organic matter, the soil can hold 16 thousand more gallons of water! One positive result of composting your yard waste, then, is healthier soil that can hold more water and even potentially protect your property from flooding during extreme weather events. 

To start a backyard compost pile, you will need to set aside a corner of your lawn that is a decent distance from your home. Composting areas can attract critters that you probably don’t want inside your home, so it is best to make your composting area in a hidden corner of your backyard. Successful compost depends on mixing materials that are high in nitrogen (green or fresh materials), and materials that are high in carbon (brown or dry materials). Examples of nitrogen-rich materials include grass cuttings, fruit and veggie scraps and green leaves. High carbon materials include dead and dry plants, weeds and leaves.

To ensure proper decomposition, it is best to “aerate” your compost pile usually once or twice a month by turning the compost pile a shovel or garden pitchfork. Furthermore, compost piles need adequate moisture levels, so you may need to water the pile during droughts and extended dry periods. In most cases, your compost may be “finished” and resemble fertile, moist soil after 6-12 months of decomposition. The exact amount of time will depend on the types of materials used, the climate, and how often you turn the pile. When your compost looks and smells like fertile forest soil, you can apply it to different areas around your home. 

If you plan on making lots of compost, you might consider using a “three-pile” system wherein you transfer the materials from one pile to the next throughout the composting process. This will allow you to continue to create new compost while the older materials continues to decompose.
