I compost everything but cans, bottles, and meat scraps. I have a special 5 gallon blender and everything goes in. Junk mail, paper towels, coffee grinds, egg shells, vegetable and fruit scraps, etc....Worms love paper by the way.....Once a week I just dump it all in, add water, and make a compost smoothee.

Wow! You’re hardcore! I thought *I* composted just about everything, LOL!

Bonus: I have a mule - his droppings, when composted and added to the garden beds grow amazing vegetables!

5 gallon blender? Did you put a rototilller inside a barrel?

I've been watching a lot of you tube on gardening, composting, hugelculture, etc...

I've started a free standing compost pile with some older compost, lots of green leaves, old fruit, egg shells, egg cartons,etc, and now I'm collecting coffee grounds at work when I can.....glass clippings and dry leaves as I can get them....
