Tips * Be sure the mix of ingredients you put in your tumbler contains wastes high in nitrogen and carbon for a good balance. * Do not attempt to make compost using any products that have been treated with chemical fertilizers or pest control products. * If you have bulky items to compost, such as corn cobs, melon rinds, and shrub clippings, be sure to run them through a shredder before putting them your tumbler. Menu of Things to Compost * Fresh Grass Clippings * Shredded Leaves * Kitchen Trimmings and Peels from Vegetables and Fruits * Sawdust * Garden Throwouts such as dead flowers and plants * Weeds (Yes! The temperature inside the ComposTumbler gets hot enough to kill the weed seeds!) * Manure (From horses, cows, chickens, rabbits, pigs or sheep. Do not attempt to compost any wastes from dogs or cats.) * B/W sections of newspapers * Rotted fruits and vegetables * Pine Needles * Coffee Grounds * Tea Leaves |
