Whether it be our food scraps or yard waste, composting is a great way to turn organic matter into nutrient-rich mulch for our gardens. Not only is it a more natural, inexpensive way to grow veggies, plants and lawncare, but also helps to cut down on our kitchen waste.
But, while you might think that all things organic are compostable, there are things you should never throw on the compost heap. This is mainly because certain waste can contaminate, slow down or stop your compost's decomposition process. Plus, you don’t want to add anything potentially toxic to the soil, which could be harmful to you, or your homegrown plants. What’s more, certain foods will release a stench, which could attract pests and all sorts of vermin to your backyard!
