FAQ About Indoor Plant Composting Challenges

How important is the carbon to nitrogen ratio in indoor composting?

The carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio is crucial for effective composting. An ideal C:N ratio is about 30:1, which balances the decomposition process. Green materials like vegetable scraps provide nitrogen, while brown materials like dead leaves supply carbon. Maintaining this ratio helps microbial activity and reduces the risk of odors and pests.
