Sustainable Garden Rotation
Compost Nitrogen & Carbon Super Power
Dry/Brown = Carbon Rich Organic Material
Examples:
- Dry leaves
- Twigs & sticks
- Egg cartons
- Paper & Cardboard
- Woodchips & Sawdust
Wet/Green = Nitrogen Rich Organic Material
Examples:
- Fruit & veggie scraps
- Grass clippings
- Legumes like beans and snow peas are very rich in nitrogen
*For every amount of green/wet material add 2-3 times more brown/dry material. Compost should be moist, not soggy.
Nitrogen and Carbon promote microbial activity turning your compost into rich soil.
​
Microorganisms recycle components into elements that plants can use to stay healthy and grow.
Fun Fact: More than half of our genes are microbes. We are essentially a living community!​
