can i put meat in a compost bin?
Hi all, i have just go a compost bin,i am unsure of what to put in it,but my main question is can i put meat in it?also any other helpfull advice on what i could put in my compostbin?many thanks.
eugh i forgot about maggots being attracted to meats…yuk
thank you for all the answers so far.
No! It draws flies and makes maggots. ewwwww!
Egg shells are great, as are all your grass clippings and vegetables. Avoid cheeses and processed foods with any meats in them. There are many books out on the market on composting and a good one to start with might be Organic Gardening for Dummies- although I hate being called a dummy!

it'd compost
but it'd probably also kill your plants and STINK like nothing

I wouldn't, rotting meat can go rancid and will smell so gross.
Vegie scraps, garden rubbish etc make good compost, oh and some live worms

No meat, we use our for grass cutting & any uncooked vegetables, basically anything that can decompose naturally and then be used as compost, which wouldn't include meat

Do not use meat, bones or meat products. It might attract varmints, like rats, mice, possums, skunks, etc.
Put only plants, leaves, grass cuttings, vegetable waste, fruit waste.
Throw some dirt on it occasionally. Sprinkle some water on it occasionally – maybe once a month at most.

I don't think there are any benifits, and probably a lot of detriments. Smell, flys etc.
Compost smells bad enough without meat in it.

If you have a good, hot (properly functioning) compost pile meat and bones can be placed in the hot center of the pile and maggots are not a problem.
It is best to cut the meat into small pieces,

The easy way to remember is don't put anything in it that has a mother.

You shouldnt as the meat will attract varmits like opossums and skunks.
