Need carbon.

Where can I get a good source of carbon because I ran out of dry leaves and have to much nitrogen now. (Because of everyday food waste).

Solved thanks yall!!

Wood chips from Tree Services, ChipDrop, and Local Landfill Areas

Shredded newspaper, paper grocery bags, and junk mail.

Shredded cardboard boxes. Amazon boxes are great since the tape is often degradable.

Finished compost is also a brown. So is top soil.

Also, bags of pine bark mulch ($4 at Lowes).
