Jan 12, 2022 · There are four stages in the composting process and each stage involves some aspect of time, temperature, and turning. The first step is to mix water, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) feedstocks together to obtain a C:N ratio of 25:1 and a moisture level of 40-65%. A rule of thumb is to use two to three parts “brown” (carbon materials such as
