QUESTION 1

Question

Based on the ratio calculated above, how much nitrogen-rich material will you need to add to the compost heap if you have 2,160 grams of carbon-rich material to add?

¼

Answer 1

of the nitrogen-rich material is needed for every 1 part of carbon-rich material.

So, for 2,160 grams of carbon-rich material, we would need:

2,160 / 4 = 540 grams of nitrogen-rich material.

Therefore, you will need to add 540 grams of nitrogen-rich material to the compost heap.
