Default Compost question


"Ruby Hare" wrote in message
...
Hello all,

I was just wondering if it was possible to compost mussel shells (or
indeed any other shellfish)? There I was gaily throwing the moule
scraps into the bin after an absolute wow of a dinner, when I thought
hang on a minute. I'm not dedicated enough to rummage through the bin
(ugh) but it would be useful to know for next time. Not sure if they'd
rot down though.

Cheers,
Wendy


Shazzbat's advice is good but don't forget shells are limey so don't use
them on lime hating plants.
