What is the recipe for balancing brown and green materials?
For the fastest breakdown and least smell, keep a balance of one part green materials to three parts brown materials. When you have about an inch-thick layer of kitchen scraps on your pile, add two or three inches of dirt/straw/dry weeds. Or just throw a shovel-full of brown materials on the pile whenever you empty your compost bowl. • Green materials = fresh grass clippings, kitchen scraps, green weeds and garden trimmings. • Brown materials = fallen leaves, dry weeds, shredded newspaper, nut shells, untreated wood chips or shavings, straw, and soil.
