I Make My Own Compost

Almost everything can be used

Most organic waste can be composted.

I make my own compostA Natural Process :

Compost is a fermented blend of organic and mineral residue, used as fertilizer for the vegetable patch, the ornamental garden or for potted plants.  It can be made at the bottom of the garden, in a heap or in a composter.  It can even be produced on the balcony in a worm composter which respects approved environmental norms.

Waste which can be used in my compost :

Household waste in general :  paper towel, wood ash, sawdust, wood chips, indoor plants, etc....

Kitchen waste : vegetal peel (except that from citrus fruit), eggshells, coffee dregs, paper filters, dairy products, cheese crusts, vegetable leaves, rotten fruit and vegetables, bones, fishbones, etc...

Garden waste : grass clippings, leaves, wilted flowers, weeds, etc...

Around one third of the waste in French bins can be composted.
