Compost making is critical to a healthy garden and healthy lifestyle and anything and everything that is organic can be added. If it has lived and breathed it can be put in your compost.
There are a huge range of composts from basic wire circles to keep it enclosed to ready made composts that are permanent and bench top mini recycling systems
called Bokashi containing everything to break down waste.
Whatever system you use, start one straight away as bought compost just doesn't contain the life force and essential elements in usable form that is readily available to the plants. As you can see from the post on butternut squash it makes it practically impossible to fail with a crop that has been planted in compost and even a handful at planting time will help a plant to be stronger and grow better.
Here are a few more to consider, or you may like to get some netting and make your own to the size you like. My last compost was made of pallets and covered with an old carpet and a tarpaulin on top and has rotted down nicely into rich black compost.
