REQUIRED COMPOSTING MATERIAL

You need to observe few precautions to avoid any disease or damage to the process of composting. You can add as much waste composting material like dry leaves, kitchen waste, newspaper pieces, hays, egg shells etc. Try to avoid dairy and do not add manure to it as it is a different medium.

I am mentioning a list of required composting material that is useful to add to your pile. Both green and dry material are necessary for composting. A good ratio for the green and brown material is

2:1, i.e. one part of brown and two parts of the green material. Green leaves and vegetable peels give back the nutrient they have and brown material has phosphorus and carbon for the growth of your kitchen garden.
