5 items I put in my compost that might surprise you! 

Great video 🇳🇿🌱

Thanks Jacq. That was great. I have the same challenge and have been adding much of the same browns.

I put in toilet roll centres in also, plus paper shreddings, unless I know some plastic film got in there. I also have a whole load of plant matter that I allowed to dry out (to kill the roots) that I plan to add, just not done yet. However, I don’t generally add food waste unless it’s peelings or uncooked egg shells. Snails and slugs are enough of a pest, I don’t need to attract more!

David the Good channel, compost everything especially of the pile is hot enough.

We cut up old clothes or torn sheets as long as they are 100% cotton. We cut off anything that is a tag or elastic. Cut them up into about 2 inch squares. Surprising how fast they disappear.

Just this past year I started adding all the things you mentioned (except for the playdough...), and for the exact same reason - I do not have enough browns. I also throw in used paper towels IF they don't have grease on them. I just have a wire bin, and never turn it, because I am physically unable to. Everything composts anyway. In one of my raised beds, I did not have anything to use as a mulch, so I used shredded paper. It worked very well, and clumped together enough that I did not have to worry about it blowing away.

I have loads of brown, need more green. Nice video.

Bleached white paper seems to compost quickly for me.

I've been putting pretty much everything in apart from what squirts out of my dog and cat's gas pipes but meat goes in and gets covered with greens or more cardboard. It works absolutely fine. As you say, dairy, etc. Play dough sounds organic so why not. And of course, the old (in my case) human liquid activator as long as you're healthy. Adds so much nitrogen. Ash, weeds, seaweed, meat carcasses (something will eat the marrowbone). Everything that rots.

Ad in seaweed, gras, rockdust, worms.

How long should an unturned compost pile (in a black compost dalek bin) take to be good to go? And when do you stop adding??? I've been adding to this pile for so long! Nice video❤

Put some leaves in the toilet paper rolls, the worms love to get inside of them.

I am new to composting so have lots of questions! I just bought six pallet boxes with open, slatted sides and bottoms which I will be using to hold leaf litter and grass clippings. (From neighbors; mine are mulched and left in place. 😊). I want to reduce my waste as much as possible. What is the problem with using glossy paper which is colored? I am in the US and get catalogs and company mailers from businesses which I don’t do business with. I don’t support any printed media, including newspapers and magazines, but I get unwanted glossy, colored mail daily! We are not allowed to burn it but I have wondered if I burn it in my evening fire (which is permitted) if the ashes could go into my compost. I make bone broth for my dogs; is there anything I can do with the leftover bones? Lastly, what is the best way to compost cardboard? Can dog fur be composted? I put it out for the birds and squirrels but no one wants it!
