Composting is very important because of what it gives back to nature. It enables for healthy plant growth. From our research we found that composting involves: piling up scraps of organic material \u00e0 monitoring moisture and temperature \u00e0 then turning the pile to expose all edges. We also have to closely monitor the carbon: nitrogen ratio to maintain 25 \u2013 30 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen.<\/p>\n
Carbon mainly comes from vegetation whereas Nitrogen is created through the little bit of animal product and environment. \u00a0In a pile you should always limit the amount of animal product because you don\u2019t want to draw rats and the pile will be sitting there for a long time.<\/p>\n
The most important aspects to making compost would be maintaining moisture and temperature. This is done by turning the pile. This is also affected by the weather outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
