Composting do's and don'ts

Answer 1

Do's:

• Do compost fruit and vegetable scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, and yard waste like leaves and grass clippings.
• Do maintain a good balance of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials in your compost pile.
• Do turn your compost regularly to aerate it and help with decomposition.

Don'ts:

• Don't compost meat, dairy, oils, or pet waste as they can attract pests and create odors.
• Don't add diseased plants or weeds with seeds to your compost pile, as they can spread diseases or infest your garden.
• Don't overwater your compost pile, as it can become too wet and slow down the composting process.
