What do you compost?

I Know the basics like food and newspaper, but what else do you compost?

We put anything uncooked, and without any chemicals or oils in it. I saw a great list one time... http://www.plantea.com/compost-materials.htm This list is fairly good.

Wow what a list! I did always want to know if dryer lint fuzz was compostable.

Yeah, we do everything made of organic material except meat.

I currently compost veg/fruit scraps, cardboard toilet paper rolls, some newspapers, tea bags. Now that I've seen that great link, I'll be adding a lot more to my list!

Thank you so much for the link! That is an awesome list!

Didn't see it on the list, but when my Hemparoo inserts were on their last leg (the top layer on both sides was starting to shred), I tossed them in my worm bin. Took about a year, but they completely broke down. I've been known to toss cotton and bamboo fabric scraps in there as well.
