We started few months ago composting fruits and vegetable peels/scraps, egg shells, coffee, tea, fish and shrimp waste.
We layer it with soil in a containers that have covers (do not want to invite unwanted critters). I hope in few months it would make good container soil mixed with pitmoss. I do not have big trees on the property to collect leaves. I know my tomatoes go creasy when we put fish heads and other parts in the soil and coffee and eggshells were composted for few year now.
I was surprised at how much of our waste was compostable. Too much. My containers get filled quick.
