Kitchen Compost Bags Composting 101: Carbon (Brown) And Nitrogen (Green)?

Composting 101: Carbon (Brown) and Nitrogen (Green)? - kitchen compost bags

I bought a composter Nice. I read the manual to add how different elements: grass, leaves and kitchen scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, etc., etc. When the composting is necessary to add elements in layers. A layer of vegetables, then a layer of carbon atoms. The question of the carbon sheet is recommended. I have many trees around. And add white paper () no color? Would this be considered as carbon into account? I know you have the right mix just right to get a connection from Nice.

What are some substitutes for other, leaves of carbon? I have a lot of nitrogen, or green.

Thank you.

to crush junk mail !!.... Paper, not glossy, advertising ... Envelopes, all kinds of household spending, bills of importance, as in the supermarket .... Pound also shred old phone !.... Light cardboard, like cereal boxes go well .... thick cardboard must be broken to split the size of your hand faster ...... Paper towels, tubes, etc. ....

The compost will be required to periodically file. Do not get hung up in Nice at birth, because they are not stacked very well. Crushed eggshells can go in your compost.

There is a large table that shows what carbon and nitrogen, which reads:
