Notes:

List of common compostables (dry, carbon-rich browns and wet, nitrogen-rich greens), p.34-35

Composting techniques: pit composting, trench composting, digester composting, sheet composting, p. 42-43

Other micro-compost options: window boxes, compost towers, garbage cans, laundry hampers, commercial bins and tumblers, worm bins, p. 83… (más)
