Straw compost

Is it ok to put the straw that was covering the fig plants into the compost bin?

Answer

Absolutely!  Straw is a good addition to a  compost bin, as it does not contain the seeds that might sprout when you use the compost when you finally spread the end result.  It is a great aerator, keeping channels open to allow oxygen and moisture to easily penetrate your pile.
