Moldy Bread in compost?
I've been asked if it is OK to put moldy bread in their compost.
I've heard you shouldn't even put bread in because of the eggs.
SOOOOOO, opinions please?

I have seen women looking at jewelry ads with a misty eye and one hand resting on the heart, and I only know what they're feeling because that's how I read the seed catalogs in January - Barbara Kingsolver - Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

Re: Moldy Bread in compost?
Yes bread, moldy or not, is good in the compost. I have no idea why this person told you no bread because of eggs as most regular loafs have only flour, yeast, salt and water & the tiniest bit of sugar. If for some reason I have old eggs, I will break them and put them in the compost with no problem.ksroman wrote:I've been asked if it is OK to put moldy bread in their compost.

Re: Moldy Bread in compost?
eggs? any bread that has eggs in it has been baked so the eggs are safe. however and for what it's worth, i put everything in my compost: eggs (cooked or uncooked), cheese, etc. the only things i put in the digester instead of the composter are actual meat items--meat, fat, bones. everything else goes in the compost.
Re: Moldy Bread in compost?
Yep, on the bread, it's mostly grain, after all. Just spread it around and mix it in a little. If you leave it in a single, big lump, it can get very sour and not compost easily. I always make sure I've got at least a little "brown" in between each slice.

In my pile if it's not meat, oil, or from a meat eater, in it goes!

Re: Moldy Bread in compost?
I know it's been said, but I just got a visual of a guy cracking his eggs, tossing the yolks, but putting his shells in the compost pile. I can only imagine if shells are great for compost, the entire egg is fine.
