Remains of fruit and vegetables: moderating the addition of citrus.
Fresh grass: moderately (they give off a lot of moisture).
Pruning remains: their contributions are more appropriate when we crush them to add it to the composter.
- Cork stoppers: chopped into 3 or 4 pieces.
- Dry leaves.
- Coffee.
- Tea bags.
- Egg shells: crushed.
- Bones.
It is also important to highlight those materials that we should not add to our composting containers , as some of them, beyond being able to be decomposed, could irreversibly damage our compost, throwing away all our work. In the following list you can find materials that you should never add:
- Treated wood
- Glass
- Remains of the sweep (sweep at home).
- Paper
- Cardboards with color prints
- Butts
- Clothing
* Of course, you should never add batteries, foil, tetra-briks or medications.
This short guide should guide you to make your own compost, but if you want to deepen any of the aspects discussed, here is a list of background articles written in our magazine that will help you more conscientiously to guide you and answer any questions you have in relationship with the manufacture of compost.
