Re: Coffee filters in the compost...

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I try to rinse the filter into the dirty coffee pot and then dump it all
into the compost bucket. A gray water system would be ideal, one of the
helathiest, most productive gardens I ever saw grow was irrigated only on
well used gray water (during a drought year with a dry well after June).
Because I am on a small city lot, it's not really feasible here.
