HOME COMPOSTING The key to successful home composting is to remember a few simple guidelines. When filling your Green Johanna, it is important that you use both green and brown materials. A good rue of thumb, is to use 1-part brown materials to 2-parts green. This provides structure within the pile and allows air (oxygen) to circulate. Oxygen is required by many of the microorganisms responsible for fast decompositions and a "hot" pile.
GREEN materials contain nitrogen. They break down quickly and help to keep the pile moist.
• Cooked food
• Dairy products
• Fruit & vegetables
• Garden & house plants
• Grass cuttings
• Raw meat & fish (including bones)
• Tea leaves/ bags & coffee grounds
|
BROWN materials contain carbon. They break down more slowly and add structure inside the bin.
• Bedding from pet cages
• Feathers
• Hedge trimmings
• Scrunched up paper & cardboard
• Straw & hay
• Wood chips & sawdust
• Dried leaves & grass
|
Do NOT use the following materials:
• Cat or dog litter
• Coal or coke ash (wood ash is ok)
• Diseased plants
• Diapers, glass, plastic or metal
