Paper is not good to add to the compost pile if you are using it to fertilize edible plants as it add chemicals and dioxin to the pile. Same with grass clippings make sure they are herbicide free before adding and the clippings are really good for your lawn. “Wood ashes are highly alkaline; too much of ‘em can raise the pH o levels that stop composting cold” (McGrath 72). So make sure the wood ash amounts are small and are of high quality hardwood. According to McGrath no more than one cup per 4X4 bin and that it is better to save them for highly acidic soil.

Don’t forget the worms. They will speed up your composting and leave you some very rich castings.

I remember when I was a kid my parents would have us put the organic waste in the compost, usually a coffee can or milk carton dedicated to the organic waste. It would then be taken out to the bigger compost pile in the garden.

I always remember it stunk up the house! Ughh. Now I have a garden, but have arranged it so that it is just outside the back door and compost can be added from the rear deck. At the end of the gardening season and at the beginning before planting, I turn the soil. Other than that I just toss it (literally) to various spots in the garden! Fun with gardening.

My garden won’t win any awards for beauty, but it is 100% organic and it works for me and is easy to maintain!

To Your Health!

Thanks! I just started a compost pile and my Mom had told me I could use dryer lint and I didn’t believe her! I’ve noticed the amount of garbage I take out has dramatically decreased just from using my old fruits and veggies!
