Reply To: Making compost that is as 'chemical-free' as possible

[Busybee]

Hi thanks Fzjohnson and Wellies for your replies and ideas – yes, think I’ll go for increasing the other brown ingredients, and I hadn’t thought about coffee grinds or ash. I’ve started to collect up the brown garden waste so I can build up a stock. I’ve also found composted fine bark that is additive-free but guess that’ll be like adding wood-shavings/chips and am thinking I can use that too. Seems as if there must be a way to make a hotbin work with alternative brown ingredients.
