Is it okay to put ashes and non-organic material in my Earthmaker?
No, please do not add any ashes from coal or tanalised wood. Plain wood and paper ashes are ok, but do not overload. Anything not biodegradable ie; non-organic (plastic, metals, glass etc) will not break down. Large sheets of paper or cardboard will take too long to compost and may “clog up” your Earthmaker. Avoid anything toxic such as pesticides, paints, solvents and harsh chemicals. If in doubt, don’t!
