    For compost, use the egg's as discarded.

    I have heard this is an extremely successful method. Keep me posted on how it works out for you all.

    When I lived in Northern Ontario, we had a compost pile, as did many of our neighbors. We tossed cooked veggie left overs in there as well as the raw trimmings, peelings and rotten ones. Cooked or not didn't make any difference in break-down. Cooked has less of the good stuff than raw, but it's still better going back to the soil than in the landfill.

First they tore up newspapers into strips. They also used coffee filters. Next went in anything organic, but here is the important part – not cooked. So if you had fresh broccoli that would be fine to use, but you could not use it if it was cooked. Peelings from fruits and vegetables were fine. In a matter of weeks, they had a nice amount of soil ready for planting.
