West Coast Compost

If you don't have a compost pile, it's time to start one. There are lots of resources on-line, but for starters, here's a great list of 80 things you can compost.

And something I learned the other day is about the ratio of browns to greens. (Browns meaning leaves, wood, paper, cardboard, lint, etc. Greens are kitchen scraps, green grass, etc.) My ratio has been way off. I think I might even have had more greens than browns, but apparently (thanks Josie O.) the ratio of browns to green can be as high as 25:1. So my project this week is to start stock-piling more browns.

What are your composting tricks?
