With fallen leaves littering the yard and vegetable plants wasted in the garden, it's not hard to find things to feed your compost pile. But you may be only skimming the surface of what there is to compost. Marion Owen, master gardener and co-author of Chicken Soup for the Gardener's Soul, has put together a list of 163 other items that are great for composting. "Just think, 163 materials that don't end up in the landfill. Plus, your plants get a gourmet meal out of your recycling efforts. Such a deal," she says.
