I've read some people say NOT to compost meat, grease or dairy.
I started scraping the tiny cat food scraps my cat left in his bowl into the tubs where I save coffee grounds & filters & a few vegetable scraps for composting. No obvious problems.
Then I had 4 hot dogs get too old to eat, chopped them fine and added them to the compost piles as well. No obvious problems - in fact, checking after a few weeks, I couldn;t tell where the hot dogs had been.
It is a tiny, slow, cold pile, but when I added the hot dogs, I scrounged aorund for more things to throw on top (dried clover vines and bolting Bok Choy).
I saw no evidence that I had attracted any rodents: the pile seemed undisturbed.
Does anyone know other reasons to avoid meat, grease or dairy in a compost heap? Mine cooks so slowly that I only use it every other year or so.
