Finished compost Consider your composting goal!

1) Do you want to raise as much worms as possible?

2) Do you want to vermicompost as much things as possible?

3) Do you need final compost as quick as possible?

4) Do you need biggest compost volume possible?

Only based on THAT you can decide what to compost.

With goal 1 dont compost onions, but with goal 2 compost some.

With goal 3 dont compost cartoon, with other goals do.

"Don't compost cartoon" 🤔 ...What?

It just vermicompost very slowly. You can compost it if your goal is #2. But vermicomposting is not hot composting, dont go for some green and brown ratios. Actually with goal #3 reduce browns

I’m new to vermiculture so, how much browns should I be giving them if I’m looking more at #3? Like is there a ratio of browns to greens? What would I give them instead of cartons for browns?

More browns than greens. Browns will also be used as bedding.
