Adding organic matter in your compost can sometimes be a difficult situation, especially if you are new to the game of composting. You've probably heard of some stuff called "green matter", and "Brown matter," too. Now, as gross as it sounds for some of you, it's really not what you think. This all goes back to the carbon / nitrogen ration (C / N). Green matter, which is entirely of nitrogen, usually consists of yard waste such as grass clippings and non-diseased weeds, fruit scraps and humus. Chicken manure and rotted manure also falls into this category. The case of Brown, which is full of carbon, usually dry leaves, hay, sawdust and wood chips. How much green matter brown substance you want to throw in your compost bin is really up to you. However, there are some formulas you can start to find the right plan that works for you. The first thing to keep in mind is the perfect hot compost, quick to accomplish is to keep the ratio of 30:1. With 30 parts carbon for every 1 part nitrogen, all the beneficial bacteria can reproduce and decompose organic matter quickly and efficiently. A simple method I use for this relationship is by half and half mixture of brown dust of green matter weight. Remember that yard waste and food scraps over dry leaves and the roads there so there is a possibility that you will need three or four times the amount of brown material includes the same weight to reach their green cloth. Once you have your own formula (or even using the formula 30:1), it's time to start throwing everything in the cup or container of fertilizer. Assuming you compost in your backyard, set up the compost bin in a shady area near a water source. Throw in a pile of leaves that will be around eight inches in its container and place the hose on it to them just a little angry. Then add some green material like grass, remember to take into account the medium green, brown half the weight. Mix well so that everything is evenly distributed and damp. For an extra boost, sprinkle on some rich soil, but not a shovel full! Check your compost regularly to make sure nothing is too wet or too dry, and to ensure that the stack is reduced. After a few weeks and regular turning of the pile is a selection of ready-made compost for use in your garden.
