Meat add mean bugs to your pile. Attracts pests more too.
What do you guys think about compost heavy on coffee grinds?

I’m no expert on the matter. Apparently after 30 days you sift the bones out and crush them up, then resume composting for another 30 days.Composting could take care of most of the body, but the bones and skull would still be there!

I'm just going to start small and probably have a growing pile every year. Plenty of grass and leaves to mix in but want to try for a good balance that will make some quality compost down the road. Probably start with an open pile on the edge of my yard for convenience. I don't have any livestock to get fertilizer. Just the thought of how much I've just thrown away bothers me that it could be used for something. On an open pile that gets turned with my tractor would it be a good idea to throw some black plastic on top to help create heat in the pile or would I be doing more harm than good with plastic? Anybody add any extra worms or does that just work itself out? Thanks for the replies!
They make composting bins and you can make your own. You do need to water them from time to time. Some you can roll to help mix. They probably make things work slightly faster. I just use a pile since I have a loader that I could use. A neighbor had some trees cut down and chipped. I told the contractor he could just dump the chips in my back yard. Each time I mowed the grass, I'd push the grass debris into the pile. They say the optimal depth is about 5'. As it cooked down, I'd use the loader on my tractor to pile it back up and mix it a bit. The chipped wood provided the C and the grass clippings provided the N.I wouldn't cover it, I think it needs to breath and get water. When it gets to working it will make it's own heat.
This is not in jest. I assumed everyone knows it’s legal now.You realize you guys are now on an fbi watchlist for this right?
What kind of time frame from dumping into the and having compost ready to be used?They make composting bins and you can make your own. You do need to water them from time to time.

For me it was between 1 and 2 years. Keep in mind that the initial dump was all C (wood chips). Over the next year or so, I added the grass clippings and mixed a bit each time I cut the lawn. I think things can go much quicker if you balance the C and N from the start and they are well mixed. I did not add any food scraps as many do.What kind of time frame from dumping into the and having compost ready to be used?
Whats the berkeley method?I use the Berkeley method for compost. It takes a few weeks for it to be ready. I also have a long-term compost pile that is mostly woody things that don't break down quickly in the Berkeley compost bays.
