And Even MORE on Compost Ingredients
February 10, 2009 · 4 comments
Okay. We talked about compost ingredients HERE and HERE. Then a friend sent me an email with a few more items I forgot to list. (Thanks Lisa!)
More weird things you can compost…
Old flour, oats or expired grains
Pet Bedding from (rabbits & herbivores only)
Toilet & paper towel rolls
Leftover Wine (Who has leftover wine? That just doesn’t seem possible.)

I was just wondering about the paper towel rolls. Thanks.
We never have left-over wine either!
We compost dryer lint, after reading that it was ok so long as your clothing is mostly cotton, which ours is. Cotton with kleenexes in the pockets usually – very compostable.
Hey – Donalyn,
I had to laugh about the kleenexes. When my boys have colds, I always discover the tissues they had in their pockets AFTER I pull the clothes out of the dryer. It happens every time. So, I can relate to that one!
