  1. I would just add veg, fruit, egg-shells, tea bags with egg boxes, grass, leaves and sawdust. Lot of things they mentioned such as meat, dairy etc will attract rats and will stink your garden out.

  2. Not ANYTHING you can eat can go into the compost bin. Some meat and fish cannot be composted, all dairy things shouldn't be, bread products, kitchen oils ex: butter, and acidic items. In fact, most of these things listed can be harmful to the compost or it can ruin it. Good video, but more research should have been done.

  3. You can compost all organic matter, including paper and wood, and now there exists a type of compostable plastic. You need to check that first, forย if it is conventional plastic, then it goes into the recycling bin.
