PLEASE READ NOTES: You CAN compost

(click photo to enlarge)

  • Egg shells, cucumber peels, orange rind, tea bags, and coffee grounds with filters all make great compost.
  • brown matter, like these dead leaves, is key to good compost.
  • Layer the brown and green matter at a 50/50 ratio in your compost bin. Leave it uncovered, but always top with fresh brown matter.
  • The compost will decrease by about half as it "cooks." Add scraps to a second bin until the first one is ready.
  • This compost has just been turned and is almost ready to be spread on the garden.
