Almost every compost problem comes back to one thing: the balance between greens (wet, nitrogen-rich) and browns (dry, carbon-rich).
Get that roughly right and the pile more or less runs itself. Get it wrong and no amount of turning fully saves it. I wrote this guide to give you that balance in plain language, so you build a pile that works from the start.
Inside you’ll find what greens and browns actually are, why the ratio matters, simple mixes you can copy, and a reference table to fix a pile that has gone off. It pairs with my free compost ratio calculator on the site, which does the exact maths for your materials, this guide is the understanding behind it.
I’ve kept the science plain and practical.
