Have also read in several places that cooked meat, bones, and
human/pet manure should not be included in compost materials.

I put nothing I wouldn't eat in my pile, that includes ALL animal
products. For some of us organic meat is an oxymoron....


Well, now there's an interesting concept. I don't use any animal
products in my compost. I just use grass trimmings, leaves and
rotting hay. Not exactly
tasty stuff but it serves the purpose for me. My plants also seem to
like it.

I don't mean to demean anyone that eats or uses animal products, just
happen to believe in "Diet for a Small Planet".

the only grass I have to compost is wheat grass and I juice it. I
let the leaves create a natural mulch under the parent tree and I've
no hay. :)
