What is the best ratio of newspaper to grass for efficient
composting?....HW


Does not really matter how much shredded paper of all descriptions you
add
to a compost heap it will still rot down and make compost which will hold
moisture in the soil
Personally i prefer to pack my groceries into free cardboard boxes at the
supermarket and then recycle them into the compost bin .......IMHE.the
worms
just love to prophagate and raise their young in between the layers of
paper
that make up cardboard

I add lashings of night water to my compost bins .....best accelerator
there
is

I agree that regardless of the mix it all will "eventually" break down but
my question was relating the the "efficient"...in other words what ratio
will give the quickest rate of decompostion..........H

Are you composting to a tight deadline? Most people regard composting as a
fairly leisurely process.
