Any Trash Talkers? (aka Composting)

I used to smash the eggshells up fairly small with my hands and kind of sprinkled them around the plants. I didn’t really have a pile.

I do agree that it can help to chop up some things in smaller pieces to get them to compost better. The main thing I cut up before it goes out is corn on the cob husks. I cut them in pieces with kitchen shears after having too many hanging around the pile in the spring. (Don’t compost the cobs.)

My pile is probably most a steady pile, you just have to wait longer to harvest, but it’s a lot less work!
