I use all natural pine litter for the cats and completely change out the boxes every 3-4 days. I think that's WAY too much to put in a composte pile.

I'm conflicted on the meats though. I'll have to read more. Some say yes, some say no.... We don't consume a ton of meat anyway so it would be pretty small portions.

What about things like crab shells if we have crabs?

You have not smelled a stink worse than decomposing crab shells. Did that once and our compost pile is out behind the goat pen. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

I have always had one no matter where I lived. Mostly it is plants, grass, and extra dirt. Fruit and veggie scraps go in also.

The main reason is so I don't put grass in the landfill when it is too high to mulch and leave on the lawn.

If you throw newspapers or grass clippings on top of the crab shells, that will prevent the vast majority of the decomposing fish smell. Once the leftover soft tissue on the shells has dried out there will be no smell anymore.
