Hi Juliane,
You're welcome. No problem with the bonemeal and bloodmeal, I meant things
like meat scraps. I should have been more specific.
The meat is "bad" in that it attracts rodents, dogs, flies, what-have-you,
and smells bad as it rots too. It's not that you can't compost meat, but
it is more trouble than it's worth for most back yard composters.
I don't think it's bad to throw in yogurt, milk, old cheese etc., but if
you have frequent animal pests you might want to avoid the cheese at least.
Cheers!
