Use Caution When Adding These

  • Breads - can attract red mites
  • Potato skins, onions, garlic, ginger - get consumed slowly and can cause odors
  • Coffee grounds - too many will make the bin acidic

If you're "Cold composting" (not vermicompost) then stick ginger right in there and wait patiently. If you're a "hot composter" or doing vermicompost keep it out. Put it in with your browns (sticks, bark, leaves).
