What happens here
Similarly, 'beneficial greens' provide essential nutrients. These include fruit and vegetable scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, and grass clippings. Like the beneficial browns, these materials must also be pulverized into a fine particulate matter before being spread on the lawn. Do not leave large chunks, such as a pile of banana peels, as this is visually unappealing and will not decompose effectively. The video explicitly states, 'You should never be able to identify anything you're placing in your yard.'
Goal: Supply nitrogen and other micronutrients using mulched green organic materials.
