Conversation on Compost | In the Grow

Join me, Rachel Boyd and resident plant expert, Dr. Vikram Baliga (Planthropology) as we have a conversation about that wonderful, rich thing we call compost!

Compost Tips Mentioned:

  • Nitrogen to Carbon Ratio (3:4 Green and brown organic materials)
  • Diversify your compost contents
  • CHOP! CHOP! Chop things into small pieces (increased surface area means better decomposition!)
  • Keep it TURNT! Turn your compost regularly 
  • Use compost sparingly or dilute it - IT IS STRONG STUFF!
