Compost, the Universe, and Everything

A couple of days ago, the spousal unit was getting ready to dump a batch of gluten-free pumpkin beer that had gone bad.  I know, it was very sad. It had been pretty tasty before it turned, too. Buh-bye, beer!

Anyhow, as he was preparing to dump, one of us (jokingly) said, "I wonder if you can compost beer?"  Since my hands were free, I sat down in front of the Magic Box and googled the subject.  Up popped a very useful website:  75 Things You Can Compost, But Thought You Couldn't.  I wanted to post it here as a resource.  I've already looked at it several times.  Hopefully, we can reduce our garbage output and increase our compost pile.

By the way, yes, you can compost beer.  And dryer lint.  And cotton swabs.  And more.  Really.
