Hi from Texas I am building raised beds from grass clippings and shredded leaves among other things. What should my carbon/nitrogen ratio be? I have heard that 5 parts nitrogen to 1 part carbon is good. Thanks. Fred

In nature, the ratio for soil is 25-30 parts carbon to one part nitrogen. In compost a good ratio is 8-10 parts carbon to one part nitrogen.
BTW, those beds need to mellow before planting. The soil bacteria will use the nitrogen to consume the carbon. Your plants will yellow if you try to plant too early. I usually make my beds in November for spring (April) planting.
