Derby Friends of the Earth - Derby Incinerator: D.I.Y - Don't Gasify - COMPOST!!: "We’ve found that a layer of soil over the veg waste, plus bio-digester, acts in quickening the compost process. The size of our lettuces, garlic, peppers, etc are proof. Anything can go in – grass cuttings, shredded paper, hair, bits of your gone-off salad, – as long as the mix is roughly equal. It’s a matter of trial and error.
