Feeling like the picture of composting isn't complete without the stuff that gets sifted out. Would have updated my other thread on finished product but couldn't figure out how.
Probably 1/5 the volume of finished compost is all of this stuff. Big pits from mangos, skins and pits from avocado, small sticks and wood chips. Some of these things will likely take 2+years to decompose.
Along with all of that about 50 of these grubs are put back in.
The things people said you can compost but which I'm no longer adding the my piles are rubber bands and wine corks. Neither show any real breakdown after a year. The stickers on fruit seem to be made from plastic and also don't ever break down.

Who told you rubber bands could go in your compost???
Yup. Those fruit stickers are a poly material and don’t break down. Stickers aren’t great compost due to the chemicals involved in production.

Say bye bye to your worms with that grub in there
