Compost should be made up of the following:
- Grass clippings (no lawn products)
- Uncooked vegetable scraps
- Weeds
- Leaves
- Vegetarian Manure (horse)
- Small amount of soil
- Water
You should NEVER add:
- Anything cooked
- Meat

A compost pile can take 6 months to a year to break down. A composter speeds the process to as quick as 30 days.
