Composting in a few easy steps - quick ways to make and use compost in a no dig garden

Compost is a superb mulch for no dig beds, an inch or so / 2.5cm annually, for two crops. The compost feeds soil organisms, whose activity and excretions improve soil structure, and provide nutrition for plants.
