Those that are un-diseased and un-treated by additives are vegetables that can be composted.
Specifically, the food group in question attracts foraging wildlife. It can be less likely that wildlife will raid compostable materials when inputs do not include dairy products, greases, and oils. Heavily salted vegetables may contribute to drying conditions which alter moisture levels necessary for the breakdown of compostable materials. Vegetables that are recycled or unused because of bacterial, fungal or viral diseases must not be included.
Vegetables can be composted with all other compostable materials, deposited underground, or isolated in tightly sealed food waste containers.
Non-ericaceous items can be used as compost for vegetable plants. Vegetables do not need acidic pH- and lime-friendly additives, amendments, fertilizers or mulches, all of which functions compost serves. Non-fresh composted manure also may be used.
Kitchen scraps and leftover food are the items that are put in a kitchen compost bin. Carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables count among the eligible compostables for compost bins, heaps, piles, and pits. Orts may be composed either indoors or outside.
All types of food can be put into a compost bin
yes. according to rodale, meat, pet manure is not recommended.
make a pile of it in a desired area. turn it regularly and keep adequate moisture on it.
You can put any food into a compost bin, but try to avoid any meats due to the fact that it will attract rodents.
all vegetation can be composted, which means all your vegetables fruit and greens are good to go in the compost pile
Besides manure that is the best starter, one can add any food leftovers including vegetable, fruit scraps, even paper, but not meat or fat or human waste.
Pull them out and put the on the compost heap.
Yes most definitely, everything from a kitchen should be put back into a compost heap, if you want to know how to do it go to: www.windwand.co.nz/organickitchengarden.htm and it will show you how to make compost and liquid fertilizers
A compost pit is composting materials put into a pit dug in the ground. A compost heap is when composting materials are placed in a heap on the surface of the ground.
the things that go in a compost heap are a variety of things, don't put food in, or moist things, use brown items such as soil, manure and green items such as vegetable waste. also put in lime, because the alkali from the lime will counter the acid which is made from decomposing the items of the compost heap. make sure to put extra soil in aswell because that is where the organisms are that make the compost heap work. :)
If you don't want them they are weeds. Pull them up and put them on the compost heap.

Communal gardens, community centers, and neighborhood centers are ways in which a community can use a compost heap. A compost heap may be constructed as part of a neighborhood association pooling resources. It also may serve as a role model and teaching resource in centers and schools.

Leftovers, litter, and paper are materials which families can compost. Compostable materials include quite a long list of eligible carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables. But the easiest items for family members of all ages to put in the compost bin or heap will be non-dairy, non-greasy, non-oily food scraps as well as non-diseased, non-germinating plant and uncolored papers.
The heat is released because the plant material you have put into the compost is being broken down by bacteria. As these bacteria work they warm up an this warms the compost - it can get very hot in the middle of a compost heap.
It is better to pull up the plants and if they are disease free put them in the compost heap. If they are diseased burn them and use the ash.
Vegetables are the food items that compost the quickest. Leaves, plants and trimmings can decompose within six months at most. This contrasts with avocado and peach stones and with cabbage and sprout stems that will take more than three years.
