Composting 101: Ins & Outs [Quick Start to Composting Part 1]
Here’s an excellent comprehensive video on how to compost at home- I especially like her instructions on what’s compostable, what’s not, and what’s a maybe… her information is on point.
I disagree regarding avoiding meat, dairy and oily foods, but it doesn’t really bother me either.

While I completely share the sentiment that I don’t want rookie composters getting frustrated and quitting, I think the constant emphasis on being careful with meat and dairy is unnecessary.
My crotchety two cents aside, this video does a great job explaining composting for beginners and I’m a new fan of her channel. 🙂
