In any composting system, there are millions and billions of tiny micro-organisms that are doing the work of breaking down the food waste, of processing and recycling it into the nutrients needed for plants to grow and of making compost in general. To make compost successfully, we need to make sure these micro-organisms have what they need to make the process of composting work. Two essential ingredients in just about any composting system (excluding bokashi) are nitrogen and carbon. This wānanga explores what these words mean, and what roles they play in making compost.
