| Can you put Shrimp shells in the compost pile? If so, is it a carbon or nitrogen source? |

| I do. I also compost lobster, crab, clam and mussel shells. My pile is not a "steamer", but the clam and mussel shells do eventually break down. |

All meat products are high nitrogen sources, or "greens".
Fish and seafood products are also high in calcium phosphates.
That's good too! |
