What works: Coffee Grounds Tea Bags Fruit/Veg Peelings Crushed Eggshells Corn cobs, banana and orange peels take a very long time to compost or break down. Chop them up before adding to the pile.

Now what? Tips on using your compost.* As Soil Enrichment in Vegetable and Flower Gardens: Add from 1”-3” of compost to your soil and work it in well. As Mulch Around Trees, Shrubs, or Plants: Compost used as a mulch will help suppress weeds, reduce soil erosion, moderate the soil temperature, and conserve soil moisture. Compost will also make a cozy home for earthworms, who help aerate the soil. Compost Tea: Compost can also help you get a nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer. Place some compost in a gunnysack or similar bag of loose woven fabric. Soak the bag in a barrel or bucket of rainwater for three days. Use this to water your plants. It will feed them and stimulate growth. * Minneapolis City of Lakes, Solid Waste & Recycling:
