Untitled. Stevia seeds. Greens and Browns for the Compost Pile. Question: Which items are "greens" and which are "browns" when it comes to composting?
Here is a simple list of common materials for the compost pile, grouped as either "greens" or "browns. " "Greens" are materials that are rich in nitrogen or protein. They are also the items that tend to heat a compost pile up because they help the microorganisms in the pile grow and multiply quickly. "Browns" are carbon or carbohydrate-rich materials. The main job of "browns" in a compost pile is to be food sources for all of the lovely soil-dwelling organisms that will work with the microbes to break down the contents of your compost pile.
