We hear it's important to have a good balance of brown matter (like leaves) and green (like kitchen scraps). Try Googling around for some more in depth info from real composters. :) -John

Once you use it switch back to scraps in that bin and the second one can "brew." Hope it helps! xo, s

If that's the case when do I stop adding scraps. The husband and I are starting a compost…in your post you mention that it would take 2-3 months before the compost would be ready.
