Compost is made up of carbon and nitrogen or brown and green Material. Carbon and nitrogen in the compost needs to be in a ratio of 25:1. This means you need to add more carbon to your heap than nitrogen. Carbon: Brown material (25 parts) Straw Hay Breads Grains Wood ash Twigs Nitrogen: Green material (1 part) Manure Fruit and vegetable scraps Green leaves Flowers Grass clippings Crop waste.In Sri Lanka we are lucky to be blessed with nutrient rich soil however with yearly crop rotations nutrients need to be added with compost and fertilizers.

chemicals or petrol).4. Compost heaps need to be turned. You can turn over a large compost pile with your tractor. A small compost pile can be turned with a shovel or rake.
5. Cover your compost pile with carpet, a tarpaulin, wood, scrap metal or matting.
6. Shred material using a shredder, lawnmower or garden clippers.
Types of Composting
Before you start piling on, recognize that there are two types of composting: cold and hot. Cold composting is as simple as collecting yard waste or taking out the organic materials in your trash (such as fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds and filters, and eggshells) and then corralling them in a pile or bin. Over the course of a year or so, the material will decompose.
Hot composting is for the more serious gardener but a faster process—you'll get compost in one to three months during warm weather. Four ingredients are required for fast-cooking hot compost: nitrogen, carbon, air, and water. Together, these items feed microorganisms, which speed up the process of decay. In spring or fall when garden waste is plentiful, you can mix one big batch of compost and then start a second one while the first "cooks."At Natures best farm in sri lanka www.naturesbestfarm.blogspot.comwe organically grow our compost with crop waste,animal manure,paddy husk or straw and green and brown foliage.
