Both carbon and nitrogen are necessary for the composting. process. Proper blending of green and brown materials allows the microbes to work. well and will keep your pile odor free. A general rule of thumb to follow is: 1 part. green material to 3 parts brown.
For cuts, burns, abrasions, insect bites, and other injuries, apply coconut oil more often, ideally soak a bandage and keep the oil in contact with the injured tissue 12-24 hours a day until healed. The longer the coconut oil can remain in contact with the skin, the faster the healing.
For even more protection you can mix coconut oil with different essential oils intended to keep away insects including lemongrass, citronella, lavender, and tea tree. Iâm a strong believer in the many healing benefits of coconut for just about everything. Read my post What to do With a Coconut for more info.
