Which is an appropriate layering process for a compost pile? (1 point)

A. a layer of paper napkins, a layer of grass clippings, some soil, and some water

B. a layer of pine needles, a layer of paper napkins, some soil, and some water

C. a layer of grass clippings, a layer of fruit scraps, some soil, and some water

D. a layer of dried leaves, a layer of cheese, some soil, and some water

I chose C.

Correct! Option C is the appropriate layering process for a compost pile. It includes layers of carbon-rich material (grass clippings, leaves) and nitrogen-rich material (fruit scraps), along with soil and water to provide the necessary microorganisms for decomposition. Option A, B, and D do not provide the correct ratio of carbon to nitrogen needed for effective composting.
