Under the composting topic, in the
Library on this site, it says the ratio is "80% vegetative matter and 20% animal waste", but goes on to say that any mix will compost.
I'm looking forward to good things from the pile I just started. I buy manure, as you are thinking to do, and added a 40# bag to 3 bags of leaves and some grass clippings (a gift from the next door neighbors
). I treated the soil with Agrispon before I built the pile, and then added diluted liquid molasses after the whole thing was finished.
It's not cooking yet, but hopefully soon.
God speed!
