Answer / taslim kazi
the ratio of amount of carbon to amoumt of nitrogen present
in any substance is refered as C/N ratio.it is used for
predicting the rate of decomposition. lower the nitrogen
content or wider C/N ratio slower is decaying process.
average C/N ratio of indian soil is 14:1. in humus it is
10:1. in plant it is 20-30:1. in saw dust it is 400:1. in
microbes it is 4-9:1.

Answer / guest
In order for a compost pile to decompose efficiently, you
need to create the right ratio of carbon (C) to nitrogen
(N). Piles with too much nitrogen tend to smell sour,
because the excess nitrogen converts into an ammonia gas.
Carbon-rich piles break down slowly because there's not
enough nitrogen for the microbe population to expand. An
ideal compost pile should start with a 30:1 C/N ratio.
Fresh grass clippings alone have about a 20:1 C/N ratio.
Building your pile with one part grass clippings or other
green matter to two parts dead leaves or other brown matter
will give you the right mix.
