Composting
Being newish to composting please tell me if pasta, bread or rice can go in the compost heap?
Fruit, veg, tea, coffee and egg shells are what we're composting now, apart from the normal garden waste.

Just a point if any of you or your families suffer from allergies or asthma.
I have allergic rhinitis, main allergies are mold and yeast. The folk at work had a small compost bin but I had it taken out of the kitchen next to me. When it was opened mold spores could be seen and that's a huge one to avoid if you are allergic to such things!
I was also told by an allergy doc to avoid having a compost heap in the garden. I know you can't totally avoid these allergens as they are in the atmosphere but just in case anyone else is prone to allergic rhinitis don't have one on your doorstep, so to speak!
