It would seem that there should be no problem with passion fruit rinds. It is best to cut them into small pieces if possible I have modified the What can I Compost section to include passion fruit
Tracy
Thank you, I found this very useful. Can you please advise on passionfruit shell/skin for compost tumbler? Can this be added to it and should it be cut down into small pieces?
Madison

mary
can I put very large hosters that I have just dug up in the compost heap?
Rod
You can compost plants that you have dug up including perennials flowers that you are dividing. It helps to chop them up and dry out the roots so that they do not grow in the bin

Very useful page! Is it safe to use Leylandii as a mulch when growing vegetables/ herbs? RHS list it as a skin irritant: would any of that get into the veg/ herbs?
Christopher Whitmey
The answer seems to be yes. Have a look at this page: http://www.carryoncomposting.com/416920213

Hello
I am looking at Bokashi composting and am wondering if you can leave the Bokashi bin outside even if temperatures are cold? Also whether compostable bags can go in the Bokashi? Thanks
Rod
I have revised the Bokashi section to include winter composting. I have not tested them but would not put "compostable" bags in a Bokashi

The good news is that Woolcool sustainable insulator for food delivery is compostable.
Wool is also used with bracken to make a peat free commercial compost.

I have some cool wool insulation from Hello Fresh, can this be added to compost bins?
