When you start composting, choose gardening gloves that protect your hands against wet branches and provide extra grip if you also work with a trimmer.
Watch out for sticking out branches that might get in your eyes (or someone else’s) and, if necessary, wear safety goggles. Put on safety shoes or boots with grooved soles against slipping. Always read and follow the instructions on the packages.
Never start composting in freezing weather; the decomposition process may then stop.
Use as much fresh material as possible.
Do not add overly coarse material. Cut the stalks of flowers or plants and long twigs into short pieces. Branches can be reduced with a chopper.
Good composting mostly means good mixing.
Never add excessively large quantities of the same material at once.
