Compost Piles

Yes, dryer lint, hair, that kind of thing is acceptable. No meat, no cooked veggies (especially if they're seasoned with salt or any kind of fat). I put dryer lint and when I brush my cat I put her hair in the compost pile. I drink coffee, and the coffee grounds go in the compost pile, but not the paper filters.

I would not put anything from the kitchen into the compost. I would be afraid of critters getting into it. I don't want my dog in a fight with a racoon!

eggs are great,especially for cabbages, for keeping slugs away..I don't put mine in the compost, I crumble them up right where the plants are..

If you have a compost pile, how often you mix it? It will take ten months or so for the organic stuff to rot away. That kind of labor is bad for your back. So what I would recommend is that you should check out a certain machine that turns organic materials into compost in two weeks. It is called compostumbler. They are available at a Pennsylvania based company. The materials that can be composted are leaves, grass, weeds, fruit and vegetable peels, shredded newspapers, sawdust, ashes, egg shells, manure, unwanted plants, and so much more organic stuff that can be composted. They can all be converted into new fresh ground and crumbly brown gold compost via the compostumbler, the great machine. Voila!!! You can simply visit the website: www.compostumbler.com.
