I have searched the literature and added more items to the list of things that can be composted. I think some of the things might be classified as not being top priority such as dog hair.

As it is Christmas I have choosen a seasonal photo of one of our Clumbers rather than a heap  dog hair.   See What Can I compost?

Seeing as it is Christmas I have updated the section on winter composting on www.carryoncomposting to include details of Christmas Food Waste. The list of waste food is fantastic approx 7.9 slices of turkey, 17.2 million Sprouts, 11.3m roast spuds, 7.5, mince pies and 7.1m pigs in blankets. More at Winter Composting
Check out the Love Food Hate Waste site on tips for dealing with leftover food

Compost talks are being given to Cross Lanes Farm Garden Club 14 November and for Poor Close Allotment Association on Tuesday 16th.

In addition to talks I can bring a Composting stand to Fetes, Open Garden events and Garden Centres etc.  to offer support and promote composting

I am now taking bookings for Composting talks in 2017 and (for those who are very good planners) 2018. Please email carryoncomposting1@gmail.com for details

Food Gusto will be showcasing the best of food and drink at the Christmas Fair in Ashby de la Zouch on 3rd and 4th December but we will only have a Composting stand on the 3rd (Clumber Spaniel Christmas walk and fancy dress at Clumber Park on the 4th).

Come to Ashby on the 3rd, buy food and get details of how to compost any waste but better still do not waste your festive food

It has been estimated that 10% of every festive dinner is thrown way.

That comes to 17.2 million brussels sprouts, 11.9 m carrots, 11.3m raost potatoes, 10.9m parsnips, 9.8m cups of gravy, 7.9 m slices of turkey, 7.5m mince pies, 7.4 m slices of christmas pud, and 7.1m pigs in blankets.
