Two years ago, I was thinking of using a hot mulch in my cold frames beneath
the
plants as a way to winter over tender perennials. Every other nursery that
I
asked told me that the Carbon in the "hot" mulch would find it's nitrogen,
going
right through the plastic of the pots, and strip it from both the plants and
their
potting mix.
So, I really wouldn't recommend it...
However, I've never herad the same thing about grass. I think it's because
it has
a higher nitrogen content to begin with, and decomposes faster.

Thats a good story. but thats all it is.
cardon bonds to it's self before it will bond to nitrogen.
Cardon bonds to oxygen befor it will bond to nitrogen.
Nitrogen is is very very common in air.
when to put nitrogen together with carbon- nothing happens they do not react.
