RE: compost materials

H* A*

Karen,

Your question: Can we compost melon rinds, citrus and banana peels?

Every day, and twice on Sunday! All of that nasty green stuff at the bottom
of your vegetable bin that never made it into a salad? Right into the
compost bin.

Just stay away from meat, dairy prodicts,  kitty litter, dog and cat feces. 

Here are some composting do's and don'ts for you. Happy composting!
