Greens for Your Compost Bin

-
"Greens" are the nitrogen-rich increases to your fertilizer heap. These will in general have heaps of dampness, separate rapidly, and give a brisk burst of warmth to your heap. While we call them "greens," in fact any plant matter will work here: espresso beans, for instance, are dark colored in shading, however they're wealthy in nitrogen, henceforth, they're a "green." Here are a few thoughts of greens for your heap:

  1. Foods grown from the ground strips 
  2. Citrus skins 
  3. Melon skins 
  4. Espresso beans 
  5. Tea leaves/tea packs 
  6. Old vegetables from the crisper 
  7. Houseplant trimmings 
  8. Weeds that haven't gone to seed 
  9. Grass clippings 
  10. Crisp leaves 
  11. Deadheads from blooms 
  12. Dead plants (as long as they aren't ailing) 
  13. Ocean growth 
  14. Cooked plain rice 
  15. Cooked plain pasta 
  16. Stale bread 
  17. Corn husks 
  18. Corn cobs 
  19. Broccoli stalks 
  20. Turf that you've evacuated to make new garden beds 
  21. Thinnings from the vegetable garden 
  22. Spent globules that you utilized for driving inside 
  23. Occasion greenery (from wreaths and swags, for instance) - simply make sure to cut the stems off of the wreath frame or wires first) 
  24. Old, less tasty bundled herbs and flavors 
  25. Eggshells​
