Straw
Paja
Dry straw is a good material for helping to keep a compost pile aerated, be-
cause it tends to create lots of passageways for air to get into the pile. Be sure
to wet the straw, as it is very slow to decompose otherwise. Straw is a ‘brown’
and also requires mixture with ‘greens’ to break down quickly.

that have begun to go to seed, as seeds may survive the composting process.

Wood Chips and Sawdust
Astillasyaserrín
Wood products belong in the ‘browns’ category, because they are fairly low in
nitrogen. Stir sawdust thoroughly into the pile or use very thin layers. Coarse
wood chips will very slowly decay, and are probably better used as mulch.

of the sawdust. Sawdust from chemically-treated wood products can contain
chemicals and toxins.
