The process will proceed very slowly. * Low C:N ratio - nitrogen in excess of what the microbes need to break down the available carbon can easily be lost to the atmosphere as ammonia gas. * C:N ratio for EFB is 60‚ other materials such as manure (normally 20% of EFB) and POME must be added to achieve C:N of 30 for optimum composting process. Particle size * 0.5 – 2 inches – best balance of moisture retention and oxygen diffusion. * Too large * Good aeration but will dry out
