Thanks. |

Thanks for that useful information.
But I still don't know if garlic stalks are regarded as green or brown with respect to composting. |

Does it actually matter? They can be thrown into the compost heap as per the article. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want. I dug the rocks out of it with my bare hands and I made a living thing of it!”

I'd say it matters because it is important to get the correct balance of brown to green and I have a lot of garlic up to 1/12 of a acre. |

Well that quantity makes a difference, I presumed it was just a few stalks. Can you define your understanding of brown and green. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it.
