Composting

Since the beginning of spring my mom has wanted to make a garden. She drew a map of our small backyard, and decided that if we moved everything around a bit, and made some improvements, we could be having peppers, potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, and tomatoes planted just outside our house. She has the plans for it, and now we just need some materials. However, one of the things that she thought would be good to have is some good soil. So, we decided to compost and I was going to be the one to do the research on it.
Not that doing the research is boring, not at all. I have even found some good information about what we should do. I found out that the main ingredients are greens ( grass clippings and kitchen scraps) and browns (No, not dung, but dry leaves, straw, and corn husks. ). If you have one part greens to two parts browns, along with water carbon, and nitrogen, you could get good compost.
Also, my planning of the compost pile has been made easy. We have a compost shelter, and lots of greens and browns. Since I live in a house with 2 hungry teenagers (I don't eat all that much of anything), and a mom who likes to make vegetables, we have no shortage of greens. I am also in possession of enough browns to last a lifetime, since I own a rabbit. Over the three years of his life, I have amassed a dragons hoard of straw and bunny droppings, which I am pretty sure are good for compost.
I still plan on doing more compost research, and may make another entry on this topic. I may even include updates on it, if it does take of.
