Balance greens and browns
Maintain roughly a 3:1 ratio of carbon-rich browns to nitrogen-rich greens to speed up decomposition.
Tips for a Sustainable Composting Practice
Moisture matters
Keep the pile damp like a wrung-out sponge; too dry or too soggy slows progress.
Aerate & mix
Turn the pile every 1–2 weeks to introduce oxygen and prevent anaerobic odor.
Layer and monitor
Layer inputs and monitor temperature; aim for a steady heat that cools as finished compost forms.
Finish well
Finished compost is dark, crumbly, and earthy-smelling; screen before use to remove debris.
Avoid contaminants
Exclude meat, dairy, and diseased plant material to reduce pests and pathogens.
Guides & How-To for an Industrial Greenhouse
Soil health in closed systems
Understand pH, microbial life, and compost inputs to sustain long-term fertility.
Water reuse strategies
Capture run-off, use drip irrigation, and recycle nutrients to minimize waste.
Waste-to-resource cycle
Convert plant waste into compost tea, mulch, or soil amendments for ongoing productivity.
Energy-smart greenhouse design
Insulation, venting, and thermal mass help reduce energy needs while maintaining crops.
