"Dry" and "Greens" are organic materials that can rot and the main ingredient for making compost.
"Dry" is a material such as dry leaves, twigs, and sawdust. These materials contain a lot of carbon.
"Greens" are waste materials such as vegetable scraps, fruit peel, remaining food and faeces. "Greens" contains lots of nitrogen.
