Making sure your home insurance covers damaged property may be priority number one, but insuring your family's personal liability is an equally important part of the insurance coverage for your home.
Dairy Products. Milk, yogurt, butter, cream and sour cream are all bad choices for a compost pile. As these ingredients start to rot, the compost will emit an increasingly foul odor. Dairy products also attract pests like rodents and flies. Do not add bones, meat, animal fat, whole eggs or other animal waste in the compost pile.
Composting Onions & Lemons. Most kitchen scraps are appropriate additions to the compost pile. Fruits, vegetables and even the morning newspaper are good sources of the nitrogen and carbon necessary to break down into compost. In most cases, you can even compost fragrant foods, such as lemons and onions. However, these foods are not a good option for vermicomposting.
