Now that you know what to compost and what not to compost, we suggest the following... Figure out what compost ingredients you have on hand, and what materials you can get for free from your neighbors. Then use the above charts to determine the composting carbon nitrogen ratios of each material.
Liquid Coconut Oil: A new product that appeared in stores as an edible oil in 2013 was âliquid coconut oilâ that is promoted as âcoconut oil that stays liquid even in your refrigeratorâ. It may be a new label and a new item in the edible oil section, but the product is not new at all.
The MCT oil in coconut oil is only PART of the total fats, but not the main component. Coconut oil only contains about 14% MCT's by weight, palm kern oil has about 7.2% and butter has about 9.2% (defined as MCT's less than 10 carbons). That means coconut oil contains some of the longer chain fatty acids as well as the medium sized fats (in fact over 50% of the fats in coconut oil would not be classified as medium chain triglycerides).
