I'm starting a compost pile in my backyard. What can I put in it?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You can put food scraps like fruit and vegetable peels, eggshells, and yard trimmings like leaves and grass clippings. Avoid putting meat, dairy, and oily foods in the compost.<|im_end|>

How often should I turn the compost pile?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
It's a good idea to turn the compost pile every week or two to keep it aerated and help it break down faster.<|im_end|>

That sounds easy. What's the best place to put the compost once it's ready?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Once the compost is ready, you can mix it into your garden soil to help your plants grow strong and healthy. You can also use it as a natural fertilizer for your lawn.<|im_end|>
