list of items to add to the compost pile
May, 28 Home Management
Composting is a great benefit to your garden. It protects plants from erosion, it improves soil, and it reduces space used up in landfills. Just keep a small trash bin in a cabinet or by the back door and add its contents to your compost pile every few days.
- Lint from clothes dryer
- Coffee grounds and tea bags
- Grass clippings, fallen leaves, pine needles, and other yard debris
- Overripe produce or rinds, peels, and cores
- Stale bread, grains, cereals
- Shredded paper products (bills, newspaper, paper towels)
- Eggshells
- Hair clippings
- Old beer or wine
- Leftovers that become too old to eat (no meat products)

Like you, I live by lists, often written on yellow post-its, sometimes on old envelopes.
We have so much to do, lists are indispensable, for me, at least.
It feels cool to cross off some of the things I accomplish, but I always add more.
Thanks for the wonderful list. We just brought our first home, and I can finally have a compost pile. This list will come in handy!
Hi!
Found you on Mom Bloggers Club.
What a fun blog.
Composting is big in our area and this list is great. I’ve never thought to put my dryer lint in there!
