Composting #880002

Asked August 03, 2024, 9:36 AM EDT

Hello. I am new to composting. I am seeing mixed messages online for what I can put in my compost. Is there an article that you can send me on what can and cannot go in compost. One article I read said bread was okay but orange peels and onion was not. Getting confused. Any hep appreciated. Suzanne
