What are greens and browns?

Answer Posted / guest

Browns are compost ingredients that contain a high
percentage of carbon and are usually dry and brownish
(hence the name) in color. Greens are ingredients high in
nitrogen. They are generally green, moist plant matter or
an animal by-product, such as manure. Since compost
microbes use carbon as an energy source and nitrogen in the
proteins that build their tiny bodies, it's important to
include both brown and green components in the mix
