Composting organic waste
Besides vegetable scraps, you can compost wood ash, leaves, grass clippings, young weeds, soft
prunings, cardboard, tissues, kitchen roll, egg boxes, tea bags, coffee grounds, straw and hay, chicken
and pigeon droppings, rabbit, hamster and gerbil bedding. Tissues and kitchen roll should be
scrumpled. Tear egg boxes and cardboard into smallish pieces. Do not compost meat, fish, newspaper,
cooked food, coke or coal ash, cat litter or dog faeces. Try not to include too many tomatoes, when you
use the compost they can pop up as volunteers in your vegetable patch or flower beds.
