To ensure safe composting practices, consider the following: Use a balanced mix of green and brown materials to maintain adequate carbon and nitrogen levels. Regularly turn and aerate the compost pile to support aerobic decomposition, which helps minimize odor and potential toxins. Monitor moisture levels to prevent the conditions that favor anaerobic decomposition, which can produce harmful compounds. Keep a diverse mix of plant-based materials to promote beneficial microbial activity. By adhering to these practices, you can reduce toxicological risks and produce high-quality compost.
