This is a shot of fresh kitchen waste added to the pile.What to put into your compost: Put in grass clippings, yard waste and kitchen waste.* The compost pile needs air to break down, so make sure you turn it once a week or so with a shovel. Yes, animals may get into it, but we haven't had any issues, and surprisingly, it doesn't smell (keep rotating it and smell shouldn't be a problem).
*What not to put in your compost: meats, oils, animal waste, dairy, plants treated with pesticides or herbicides. It is OK to put in egg shells!
Why compost?: Compost acts as a soil conditioner, mulch and fertilizer. Composting has helped us to reduce our trash to one trash bag a week.
