I'd like to open some dialogue about things we can recycle into the garden. We all know about greens and browns, weeds, vegetable kitchen scraps, egg shells, etc. As I look around me I am frustrated about the amount of trash I have, even though a lot can go in the recycle bin. Can we compost toilet paper and paper towel rolls, white pages of the phone books, how about yellow pages, white paper out of the computer with black print, is colored print verboten, how about fax paper, white envelopes. Do these things contribute to the garden?

I'd be interested in hearing what others put in their compost piles. I like to see less go out the door to the garbageman. And I'd like to recycle more of my own stuff as the stuff we pick up like our neighbors grass clippings and leaves have only heaven knows what on them. Hope this topic interests you too.
