Can I use pressure treated wood for compost bin?

It is probably not a good idea as toxic preservatives in the pressure treated wood can leach into the compost and then become incorporated in plants and their fruit and vegetables grown in that compost later. But using appropriate lining materials to completely prevent any contact between the pressure treated wood and the compost inside would avoid this problem. So a complete answer to your question is not simple.

Are pencils recyclable?

Pencils should be used till they are too small. They can not be recycled. The wood will gradually biodegrade in compost or landfill. Don't drop your pencil or use it as a drumstick. The graphite inside can break easily and will come out in small pieces when you sharpen the pencil, making it impossible to use.


Is newspaper compost safe for plants?

Newspaper in or as a major component of compost is actually very healthy for plants. Newspaper is made of wood pulp and wood is a natural component in the earth's eco system. It is a great compost item in that most inks are biodegradeble and the wood pulp in paper is finely shredded wood allowing for a rapid breakdown of the fibers, which translates in to a quick composting material. Layers of newspaper are a wonderful weed control method as well as a good source of compost for your plants. You can place them several sheets thick around the plants and apply a thin layer of conventional mulch or other organic material.


Can you use mildewed leaves in your compost pile?

Yes. Any kind of leaves or vegetation are OK. Do not add meat, or anything with fats or protein, to the compost pile. Wood is OK if it has been shredded; the output of a chipper/shredder will compost well, but not thick limbs or branches.
