A friend from church asked me two questions: “Could about everything be composted? and When should we start our compost pile?”
These same questions were discussed recently at a Master Gardener meeting. It’s something many gardeners wonder about, and I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned.
The following items are on the list: fruit and vegetable scraps, rotten fruit and vegetables, spent coffee grounds, eggshells, paper coffee liners, loose leaf tea, tea bags, soiled paper napkins and paper towels, paper towel tubes, expired plant-based milks, cardboard pizza boxes, food boxes, spoiled leftovers, unfinished meals, tofu, aquatic plants, corn husks and corncobs, straw and much more.
Some of these are brown or carbon-based, and others are green or nitrogen-based.
