    It has egg shells listed in what you “can compost.” Eggs themselves are listed in what you “can’t”

    But for sure tho. This is just a simplified infographic. There’s so many, many ways you can go about composting

      Apologies. Read it wrong. So egg shells are yes but the actual egg is a no. Interesting.

      I get it’s just to help. Just thought it was a bit small in size. I’ve seen a lot of those small compact ones that sound great for those without gardens. You just wouldn’t be able to fill it much. Plus what would you use the compost for ? House plants maybe

        No apologies needed!

        Those bins like the one pictured come in all sizes. But even if you’re unable to use the compost you make yourself, just the act of doing so helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from that food/yard waste ending up in landfills.

      For me egg shells don’t compost fast enough. Unless I crush them really small before adding, they are still distinct pieces by the time all the rest of the compost has long turned into nice black stuff.

        Probably just adds a little good texture. But yeah, it might be a waste to keep them in the pile taking up space when they can also just be added to the soil directly. IDK if they add much to the process of decomposition.
