Composting recipe
By Morgan Schwartz
Composting is a bit of an art form and folks disagree on the exact proportions. But the basic recipe is as follows: Alternate layers of browns and greens. Keep your pile moist. Mix it up every couple of weeks to introduce air (speeds up the microbial action). Chop/cut up bigger pieces to speed the process. Browns are rich in carbon and include:
* grass clippings, weeds
* straw
* brown leaves
* small twigs
* shredded paper towels, napkins
* shredded cardboad, egg cartons
* hair and lint Greens are rich in nitrogen and include:
* fruit, peels, rinds
* grains, pastas, and breads
* coffee grounds, filters, tea bags
* eggshells
* vegetable scraps Do not composte: (these will make your compost smell and slow the process down)
* pet/human waste
* any animal products
* meat, fish, poultry
* cheese and dairy products
* butter, oily foods, cooking oil |
