Bring on your kitchen scraps

THE BLACK TUMBLER IS BACK IN BUSINESS




for kitchen scraps. Please chop them somewhat: it'll make the breaking down process easier.

We need volunteers to tumble it. 5 minutes once a week. Make sure lid is closed. Write your name in the comment box.


DO COMPOST
DON'T COMPOST
  • All your vegetable and fruit wastes, (including rinds and cores) even if they are moldy and ugly
  • Old bread, donuts, cookies, crackers, pizza crust, noodles: anything made out of flour!
  • Grains (cooked or uncooked): rice, barley, you name it
  • Coffee grounds, tea bags, filters
  • Fruit or vegetable pulp from juicing
  • Old spices
  • Outdated boxed foods from the pantry
  • Egg shells (crush well)
  • Corn cobs and husks (cobs breakdown very slowly)
  • Meat or meat waste, such as bones, fat, gristle, skin, etc.
  • Fish or fish waste
  • Dairy products, such as cheese, butter, cottage cheese, yogurt, cream cheese, sour cream, etc.
  • Grease and oils of any kind
Why can't you compost
these food wastes?
  • They unbalance the otherwise nutrient-rich structure of other food and vegetation waste and breakdown slowly
  • They attract rodents and other scavenging animals
  • Meat attracts maggots
  • Your compost bin will smell to holy hell and back!


                                          Thanks

Our new compost




Thank you to all that participated making our last batch of compost. 
A group of brave gardeners sieved it today fueling on delicious cookies offered by Sonia.

It's now ready to make our garden look more beautiful by feeding our beds, plants, new hell-strip projects and potted plants...
