Formulate a compost mixture of at consisting of least three ingredients using the Cornell Composting Spreadsheet that will satisfy the range of percent moisture content from 50-60% and the range of C:N ratio from 25 to 35. A composting bioreactor has a total capacity of 500 kg. The total weight of the mixture ranges from 400-500 kg. Example: Ingredient Laying hens manure Leaves, Loose and dry Corn cobs Water % Moisture 69.0 15.0 15.0 100.0 % Carbon 48.0 48.6 58.8 0.0 % Nitrogen 8.0 0.9 0.6 0.0 Total Mass (lbs.) 100 65 150 150 465
