Guia passo a passo
- 1Microbes decompose carbon and nitrogen, generating heat
- 2C:N ratio 25-30:1 optimal (greens 15-30:1, browns 100-200:1)
- 3Time to completion: 2-6 months warm climate, 6-12 months cool climate

Entrada
Kitchen waste 100 kg/month, yard waste 200 kg/month mixed

Compost ready ~4 months, reduces landfill 3.6 tonnes/year
Plus soil improvement
Erros comuns a evitar
- ✕Wrong C:N ratio (too much carbon = slow decomposition)
- ✕Insufficient moisture or aeration
