Filling my daleks without grass clippings

[Containergardener]

I have a question about Ash from our multi fuel woodburner.
Can this go in my compost bin?
Mostly wood, only few pieces coal go on initially. Have read differing advice on tinternet. All just powder at the end.

Started off my bins at last , used what I had.
Woody tree shreddings that had been sat in leaf mulch
Bit of own soil and old compost
Cardboard and newspaper
Weeds
Soft prunings shredded
Sawdust that had been sat ages

Gave it a water.
Hopefully that will be OK for now.

Thanks ameno

I don't have a lawn, and I still get three good loads of compost each year.
About two-thirds of the ingredients are kitchen waste (including used kitchen roll and torn up toilet roll tubes), a third to a half is shredded prunings from the garden, and the remainder is weeds and dead crops.

OK thanks. I will see if I can get some extra greens from mum to add (another one with a big garden) , we have plenty cardboard , paper, shreddings from trees and shrubs.
I could do with it as fast as possible so going to have to find the greens I can see.

Ours dalek does alright just with veg peelings and corrugated cardboard. We only have one, it takes a while to make any decent volume but the compost is rich in nutrients.

No. Plenty native trees, shrubs, weeds but will not put elder , brambles or nettles in .
Maybe I need to bring clippings from mums garden?

You will need a green source, have you got a privet hedge?

[Containergardener]

We have a mulching mower so won't get grass clippings (unless OH changes the mower) .
Will that really slow down my composting ?

Neighbours all compost their clippings already.
