The mixture of materials to be composted should have the proper ratio of carbon-rich materials ( eg leaves , straw and wood chips called ” brown material “) and nitrogen-rich materials (such as mowed grass and plant residues from the kitchen called ” green materials “) .
\nMixing different types of materials or changing the ratio can change the speed of degradation . The correct C and N ratio is 20-30 parts of Carbon to 1 part Nitrogen . More amount of Carbon slows down decomposition and more Nitrogen will cause odors .
\nGenerally are allowed the following materials :<\/p>\n

But what exactly are the green and brown materials ?<\/p>\n

Green material (Nitrogen source)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is food waste arising from food preparation, such as stalks, leaves, scraps peels, roots, etc. They can participate either raw or boiled (not cooked)That is:
\nPeels and stalks of vegetables or herbs (eg potatoes, eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, onions, greens, etc.)<\/p>\n

\"food-waste\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Residues of salads, drained of water.
\nPeelings or remnants from fruits (eg watermelons, melons, preferably cut into small pieces, etc.)
\nPlant residues such as prunings , dry leaves, stems of flower pots, mowed lawn, etc.
\nFlour
\nRice
\nCereals
\nBread
\nResidues of coffee (Greek, filter, espresso)
\nResidues of preparing beverages and tea bags
\nCoffe filters
\nResidues from the garden as flowers, fallen green leaves mowed grass
\nManure of herbivores animals<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/a><\/p>\n

Brown material (Carbon source)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Residues from the garden such as dead leaves, dry twigs or branches from prunings
\nWood processing residues (sawdust and shavings)
\nEggs only the eggshell
\nPaper and Cardboard
\nStraw and hay
\nWood chips<\/p>\n

There are also materials not be used in composting listed below:<\/p>\n

RESTRICTED MATERIAL <\/strong>
\nglossy paper
\nPaper colored or printed with ink
\nMeat and animal products in general (they attract rodents)
\nCooked foods-that is anything contains oils or sauces ( they produce unwanted fermentation, while the oil kills some microorganisms and is degraded very difficult)
\nPasta or bread (loaves): Creates solid lumps, do not dissolve easily, causing undesirable fermentations (blue fungi) and attract rodents
\nDairy
\nChemicals (herbicides, fungicides, etc.)
\nSick leaves or plants and weeds
\nAnimal feces<\/p>\n
