Over the past week I've started saving scraps at work to bring home to the compost. Some days this is almost entirely eggshells and coffee grounds in filters. Is there such a thing as too many eggshells in the compost? I always used to feed my eggshells back to the chickens so I've not really had much experience with composting them. Also, are the coffee filters going to take longer to break down than everything else?

I don't know if you can over do it with eggshells, sorry. The coffee filters do take longer to break down, especially in cold weather. There are certain plants, especially azaleas, that love coffee grounds. Hope this helps.
