Aim for the right
carbon/nitrogen ratio.
Adding
a mixture of kitchen and regular yard waste is
effective, but for better, faster results, add
carbon-rich material (browns) like sawdust,
straw, dry leaves, or wood chips. These balance
the nitrogen-rich green material and kitchen
waste. Chop up the waste if possible: the
smaller it is, the faster the breakdown process.
If you use only
kitchen waste, you may need to add bulking
material or pre-composted material to help with
oxygen penetration as the drum rotates.
