Composting is super easy and fun! I do it all the time. I compost almost everything that I can.
I save kitchen scraps in a container in my kitchen and then just put them in the compost bin.
Some of the things I have composted:
- Grass clippings
- Leaves
- Apple cores
- Citrus rinds
- Melon rinds
- Carrots
- Onions
- Herbs
- Hair clippings (I cut my own hair)
- Eggshells
- Egg cartons
- Coffee grounds
& so much more!
Compost is made up of carbon-rich materials (browns) and nitrogen-rich materials (greens).
There are different recommended ratios of browns to greens.
I probably have a one to one ratio. And I usually just spread the finished compost around plants that would like it, such as rhubarb. And sometimes I mix it into the vegetable beds.
