What is the correct sequence for adding material when constructing a new compost heap? brown, green and then gardenn soil

Question

Is the correct order for adding material when building a compost heap brown (dry material),
green ( nitrogen containing material) and then garden soil, or Green, followed by a layer of green and then garden soil?

Answer 1

There is no real sequence to adding. You will be mixing all of this up occasionally, and when you first get it set anyway.

There is a less effective, but less hands on way to compost in a "lasagna" fashion. This method requires layering materials, and will not require much maintenance, but there is a lot to be said about a well mixed, and maintained compost pile.
