We have been composting for many thousand years and will be composting for many years to come.
Composting takes:
(3parts) carbon (wood, leafs, toliet paper, newspaper, wheat straw. etc) Also called "browns"
(1part) nitrogen (manure, human or animal it don't matter, hay, vegetable scraps, or other nitrogen source) Also called "greens"
Water (enough water that it will slightly drip when squeezed in your fist in a earth ball)
Oxygen (as much as it can get, as in turning the pile)
If the compost pile has a odor other than a "earth smell", an ingredient is not in balance, most likely a lack of "browns"!
Septic systems also work on the composting principle.
I can compost my garden scraps in 30days with using a large stack pile. Here in AZ I have to water the pile every day or it'll dry out and takes longer too go thru the compost process. If I add water, then I can have compost in 30days.
I will not use human, cat or dog manure in my garden compost. For trees, yes.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
