- Place the composter on the ground.
- Select seeds from your inventory so that you’re holding them.
- Click on the composter with the place/use action.
- You will see the shine animation.
- Repeat and you will soon see the composter begin to fill up.

Conclusion
A composter is really easy to make. The resources for it are common enough there’s no reason to not have one. When you break a composter down, you get nothing i.e., the slabs aren’t returned either but again, slabs are easy to get. You should familiarize yourself with what you can and cannot put in a composter though since not everything can be recycled.
