What To Compost
• Kitchen waste
• Lawn clippings (use thin layers so they don’t mat down)
• Chopped or broken leaves (large leaves take a long time to break down)
• Shredded branches
• Garden plants (disease-free plants)
• Shredded paper
• Weeds (before they go to seed)
• Straw or hay
• Newspaper
• Wood ash (sprinkle lightly between layers)
• Tea leaves and coffee grounds
Do Not Compost
• Meat scraps and fatty trash
• Excessive wood ashes (counteracts with manures)
• Sawdust (generally slows the decomposition of the pile)
