We always used to put veg peelings on the compost heap but that was to
get rid of them rather than to make compost. We mainly make compost
from grass clippings and shreddings. Just to get the green cone
going, I decided to put peelings as well as cooked food in, to help it
get going.


The mind boggles.

Half a lobster (I was full and couldn't finish the second one), a big
blob of foie gras and an opened bottle of 1986 Chateau Mouton
Rothschild Pauillac (it really is disappointing the next day so best
to just dump it) went in last night. I hope the worms like it.

I may consider setting up camp next to your compost heap!
