Composting is perfect for anyone who is looking to adopt more eco-friendly habits and reduce food waste. We all know that fruit and veggie scraps can be added to compost but there are many other surprising things that are also compostable, and here are just some of them.
Tea Bags
You probably already know that tea leaves are compostable, but keep in mind that tea bags that are made from biodegradable materials can also be composted.
Wine Corks
Every wine lover probably has a lot of wine corks around the house that are waiting to be recycled. If you don’t know how to reuse wine corks, you can easily put them in the compost if they’re actually made of cork and not plastic.
Coffee Grounds
Coffee grounds are an excellent fertilizer, which means that you can easily sprinkle them around your plants, or simply put them in compost instead of throwing them away.
Egg Shells
Egg shells are high in calcium and potassium, so they’re also a great fertilizer. But in case you don’t have a garden keep in mind that egg shells also make excellent compost additions.
