Can I Compost Avocado pits?
Yes
Avocado pits can be composted.
What to Know
- Avocado pits can be composted, but they take a very long time to break down due to their size and density
- They are considered a 'brown' or carbon-rich material in compost
Tips
- To speed up decomposition, break or chop the pit into smaller pieces before adding to your compost
- Alternatively, you can dry and grind them
- Balance with 'green' materials like vegetable scraps
- Be patient, as even when broken down, they may take several months to fully decompose
