| Home | Browns, Greens, Reds, and Beiges | The conventional wisdom has for decades taught of two categories of compostable materials - "browns" and "greens." Browns are relatively high in carbon and low in nitrogen and thus are said to have a high C/N ratio; greens usually have more carbon than nitrogen but the C/N ratio is lower.
Two colors is not enough. There needs to be four colors. More to come soon. |
