| This past weekend I loaded my never pile with a LOT of fresh cut grass. It's about 155 degrees now :-)
My older pile must be very close to done because I mixed a bunch of grass in but it's just "warm". |

| 20 5-6' flowering Swiss chard plants, 1/2 bag chick start'n gro feed, litter from chick brooder. I wonder how hot that mixture will get. Those Swiss chard plants were monsters! |

vegetable scraps, pistachio shells, cherry pits and about 20 flattened mosquito carcasses.
The mosquitos were added at the last minute. |

| UCG, redskins from 2 kilos of home roasted peanuts, watermelon rinds, fridge science experiments. The corn cooking water went on the plants. Question: dryer lint in my dryer is a combo of both natural (cotton/wool,etc) and synthetic (whatever the non-100% natural fibers clothes are made of) Wouldn't the synthetic lint be like adding plastic fibers to my pile? I just wondered........ |

"Glad to see someone started a new thread. Thanks!"
I'll try to do it monthly. Unless a mod can make a sticky and we just start a "What have you fed your compost today?" thread and keep it at the top. Can we make sticky's here? Do we have mods? |

| Water melon rinds ... and water. HOT here (gonna be over 100 for a few days in a row). |
Compost of the paranoid

| Grass clippings, chipped raspberry canes, chipped dead branches, all from my own property. Shredded leaves from my yard and my neighbor's yard. I have a pretty large pile (three+ yards?) of mulch (grass clippings and shredded leaves) left over from last year that needs to be processed, too. |

| I have a houseplant that dropped many leaves so those got added in along with some dried up garlic scapes, yam peelings, and eggshells! I hope the worms and earwigs have a great dinner :) |
