Generation

# Carbon-to-Nitrogen Ratio in Compost The ideal carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio for compost is **25-30:1**. This ratio matters because it provides the optimal balance for microorganisms that decompose organic matter—they use carbon for energy and nitrogen for protein synthesis. If the ratio is too high (excess carbon), decomposition slows down; if too low (excess nitrogen), the compost becomes smelly as excess nitrogen is released as ammonia gas.
