You seem to have failed to pay attention to what both Susan and I stated.
Neither of us said ash ws not a good source of nutrients. We're smarter than
that.
You appear to think it's okay to put animal food waste in you compost. That's
fine if you want to do it. I don't and neither do quite a few others. Comparing
it to TNT is silly.
You also failed to respond to the issue of binders and fillers in it. Try this.
Get a charcoal chimney. Stuff a couple of sheets of newspaper in the bottom.
Fill it with Kingsford charcoal and watch the briquettes on the top. In a while
you'll see little worm like protrusions coming out of it that are about the
consistency of perlite. What are they? I have no idea but it's the last time I
used compressed charcoal to cook with. If you want to add that to your compost
pile, you're certainly free to do so.
