Basket
The Composting Basket is key to adding nutrients to your garden bed. It’s here where you can
continually use up your regular kitchen scraps to nourish your Keyhole Garden. For best composting
success use the same Brown-Green alternating technique as this helps your compost work the best.
- AVOID LARGE CHUNKS
- ALTERNATE BROWN TO GREEN
-
WATER ONLY THROUGH THE BASKET
- IF IT STINKS, IT'S TOO WET

Put some stones or broken pottery at the bottom
of the basket. This will help in drainage and
encourage nutrients to enter the garden bed.

Using the same alternating technique (6

compostable materials. For Brown use leaves,
small sticks or cardboard. For Green use green

As the basket begins to compost, it will shrink.

Water primarily through the Compost Basket.
This will encourage the nutrients to travel into
the Keyhole Garden bed. If the Compost Basket
starts to smell rotten, it likely has too much water.
Reduce the water for a few days.
