The only common high nitrogen materials in compost come from kitchen
waste, dead animals and when you throw out a pack of MATURE dried
peas, beans etc. Almost everything else is fairly low. And nothing
less than putting large lumps of meat or dead animals on the heap is
likely to change the decomposition to being one dominated by the
protein-reducing organisms -

you lost me he What are the protein-reducing organisms? Otherwise, very
interesting!
