| Someone told me that I should not use grass clippings in my tumbling composter. Could anyone give me some advice on this? thanks Judy |

| You CAN put grass clippings into a compost tumbler BUT you must mix them with dry material such as shredded paper, dry leaves, straw or other low moisture, low nitrogen material. Even sawdust or wood chips works. If you load the tumbler with just the clippings from a weekly lawn mowing, you will have a slimy, reeking, rotting mess. If you load thin layers of clippings and dry material, you will get compost: dark brown, clean-smelling compost. |
