Which sentence is correct? "for every pound of food scraps you put in your compost bin, you will want to put about a pound of leaves, newspaper or combination of other nitrogen rich materials in as well" But later, this sentence appears: "carbon-rich materials are things like dead leaves, straw or newspaper" I think the second sentence is correct, based on everything else in the site, but the first sentence was confusing to see. Shouldn't it be "or combination of other carbon-rich materials as well" instead of "nitrogen rich"? Hello, I just noticed something confusing in this article. Which sentence is correct?
