Day 15: Carbon to Nitrogen Ratio

Good Morning Challengers! Today, we are going to talk about Carbon To Nitrogen Ratio!

The ideal Carbon to Nitrogen Ratio is 30:1.

But before we dive into the details. Remember, our recommendation for stage 3 is as follows:

For every bucket full of Bokashied Kitchen Waste, you will need

• 2 bucket full of soil to sandwich it in

No soil? No problem - collect dried leaves instead

For every 15 KG of Bokashied Kitchen Waste, you will need

• 3.5 kg of dry leaves

Action item:

1. Keep collecting food waste in your tubs / balde

2. Start collecting stage 3 Materials
