At compost may be too dry; moisten and mix thoroughly, ‘or you may have a poor carbon-nitrogen ratio. Add more green (nitro- gen) or brown (carbon) mate- rial. : Learn to compost all year Tound. Here’s a few tips: - * Materials that you add to your bin during the winter will decompose more slowly as the temperature drops and the pile may freeze solid. But as soon as the weather turns warmer, the process will become active again. Cold temperatures are actual- ly beneficial; the freezing action breaks down the fibers in organic’ material which aids in decomposition once it thaws out. * To make winter compost- ing more convenient, locate your bin close to the back door rather than in a far cor- ner of the yard. ° Be sure there is plenty. of room in your bin in the fall so. you can keep adding materials throughout the winter. Avoid filling your bin with leaves. Save some to add gradually to your bin throughout the winter. Another way to ensure ade- quate room in your bin is to remove some content in the fall that looks close to being fully decomposed and allow to finish decomposing in a pile next to bin.
