COMPOSTING MATERIALS - WHAT TO ADD AND AVOID IN COMPOST BIN | CN Ratio

In today’s episode, we will discuss on the materials that can be used and those to be avoided in composting at home, plus the Ideal Carbon Nitrogen and the Green to Brown Ratios.

Composting is a controlled and accelerated rotting down of organic matter into nutrient rich compost. Aerobic Composting uses the natural processes of rotting and decay by microorganisms in the presence of oxygen and produces heat and hence it is sometimes called hot pile composting. Whereas Anaerobic or Bokashi composting is the job done mainly by microorganisms in the absence of air which is more like fermentation process.

Aerobic Composting requires 4 things: Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen and Water in just the right amount for proper composting. Out of these, we need to provide Carbon and Nitrogen in the right ratio, what is known as the C:N ration or Carbon Nitrogen Ratio. Things that are rich in Carbon are called the Browns and those that are rich in Nitrogen are known as the Greens.


To be correctly composted, a material needs to have the following two important characteristics: 1. The waste material must be organic and biodegradable.
2. The waste material must contain things that are liked by micro-organisms to feed on.

So what types of waste can we can use in aerobic composting method. Firstly, let’s start with what we should NOT put onto our compost bin or compost heap.
