As we have a lot of threads about compost, they are now all merged together.

There are also some links in the useful links sticky at the top of the board.

MOVING THREADS FOR BETTER RESPONSES

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

Can anyone please tell me if it is true that you can put dog hair, fluff from the tumble dryer, old pet bedding and contents of the hoover bag into the compost bin? SG

Dog hair is ok,
fluff from tumble dryer would be ok if your clothes are all made of natural fibres - no man-made fibres as they won't rot
hoover bag - same as tumble dryer in that it's ok if your carpets are wool, not if man-made fibres,
pet bedding is ok if pets are vegetarian, eg rabbits, hamsters etc

I'll add this to our existing compost thread

As our compost discussion thread is now rather large I'll close it for further comments. Any other comments can now be started as a new thread and this one for future reference
