I'm looking at starting a compost pile. I've always fed my birds the leftover/scraps, and just tossed the coop cleanings into the garden, but I think I want to start a compost pile to supplement feeding the chickens. Plus I can imagine they do a really good job of keeping it turned. So, from what I've read on BYC, all I need to do is start piling it up. I do have a few questions though. We have rabbits too. Their poop piles are close to 2' tall under their cages. Can all of this go into the compost? Are grass clippings and fall leaves good for it? What else does my country residence lay waste to that I can put in there? Sawdust? Do I need to limit anything I put in it? And where should I put it? Downwind from the house I assume...lol. Does it need to get a lot of sun? Please advise!!!
