A local dairy farmer sells compost and manure. Guess where his dead cows
go!

What do y'all put in your compost. Our pile is fairly far from the
house, and
we don't have a garbage disposal, so I put most everything in there--all
organics (veggie cuttings, scrapings from the plates, oils, meat
trimmings,
etc]. But I've heard that one should stick to vegetable material. Is
this so?
Why?


I think it's because meat scraps, bones, etc. will encourage
animals to feed from the compost (rats, mice, whatever).

I don't put meat or oils in the compost for this reason -
also ours is pretty close to the house and I don't want the
smell of rotting meat.
