My composter has arrived. It's the DEFRA subsidised one, that local
authorities have been
plugging. The helpful leaflet that came with it, advises against
composting cooked veg, but gives no reasons. I'm a bit surprised, any
ideas on this one?TIA.

I won't put cooked veg in if they have been cooked/dressed with animal based
dressing, such as butter. Not that there are often any buttered, minted, new
potatoes left over to even consider going into the compost bin.
