Default A compost question

Paul Below

Shred it first, in a shredder. It decomposes pretty well if you have
a nitrogen source to add to it.

Stuff rots. :-)

Good thing too. I've been using a garbage bin for the last few years. It was
much too small, and had poor aeration, but I when I transferred the contents to
the composter yesterday, I was surprised how far along it was. I know it
wasn't properly cooking in the bin though. I have cantaloupes coming up in my
lawn.

Thanks.
