Hello all

I'm new to the forum! I have a question - Every week when I clean out
the kid's hamster, I wonder if there is any reason why I shouldn't put
the wood shavings etc on the compost heap.

Your thoughts?

Regards

Shaun


I think if there are a lot of wood shavings as a percentage of the heap,
they will not compost very well and there is plenty of documentation about
rotting wood shavings absorbing nitrogen, so the resulting compost is poor
quality from that POV.
