Compost has become one of the most popular types of fertilizers, so almost everyone is involved in its production.

Some people are mistaken when they think that any waste can be added to the pit.

As it turns out, some additives can turn compost into real poison.

What should not be added to compost?

Fat with butter

Such products may seem harmless to the compost, but this is not so: the fact is that they become bait for various kinds of pests.

Therefore, you should not add them to compost.

Products

It is important to remember that no dairy or meat products should be added to the compost. Eggs should not be added either.

You can add some shell, but you should take into account the fact that it takes a long time to decompose.

Drywall

Many people consider this type of building material to be harmless, but this is unfair. The fact is that during use it accumulates a large number of harmful elements.

There is also evidence of potential toxicity even in new drywall.
