Nitrogen

Why?

Green materials such as fresh plant material, grass clippings, and kitchen scraps are high in nitrogen because nitrogen is a key component in proteins that make up the cells of plants. As these materials break down, the nitrogen is released and becomes available for plants to use as a nutrient. This makes green materials valuable for composting and soil enrichment, as they help improve the nitrogen content of the soil.
