Compost

It works because of a bacteria, all we need to do is make sure they can do their job.I didn't know that it was bacteria doing the composting, I also didn't know that green materials are high in nitrogen and brown materials are high in carbon. Interestingly paper is considered brown material and can be used in compost. At Loutet farm I learned that thin layers are best and you want to air out your compost occasionally, and this was also mentioned in the video. Very wet and very dry compost are not preferable, you need the level of moisture to be about that of a damp sponge. The video had good information, and facts that I had not been aware of previously but the lady doing the talking kinda creeped me out.
