they’re piling up faster than i can use them and i’m running out of storage space. wat do?

Composting 101 (aka some rules of thumbs I loosely remember)

## Making
The waste you add to your compost is categorized as one of these
1. green: grass clipping, tea leaves, banana peels, kitchen scraps, etc
2. brown: dry leaves from fall, cardboard, egg shells, paper bags, etc

Aim for 3:1, or rather triple the brown for every green. Shredding helps speed up the process.

Avoid meat, dairy, grease, weeds, and chemically treated plants.

## Keeping
There's several ways to go about containing the compost, but fundamentally each way needs three key elements: water, air, and heat. All three are crucial to the decomposition process, though as with all things it's a matter of consistency and moderation. Don't over or under do it.

Watering could be once a week with an amount proportional to your pile (feel it out).

Air is tumbling it (if in a rotating container) or pitchfork if in a "lazy" pile.

Heat comes from max sun exposure; ideally targeting somewhere around 80-160°F internal temperature.

Compost!!!!

Soak in water overnight in a bin and they'll tear super easy. Mix in with food scraps and you'll likely end up with a good green to brown material ratio. Hopefully it's warm outside where you are and have some space for a small compost bin. Even better if it has direct sunlight exposure to heat up the composting process!
