The answer to this question is yes, you can compost silk. Silk is made from a protein called sericin, which is also found in egg whites. This means that silk can be composted just like other protein-based materials such as meat and dairy products.
Silk is a natural product that is biodegradable and can be composted. You’ll have to give it up to 7 months for it to completely break down in the compost, but it will eventually happen.
The Benefits of Silk Compost and Why You Should Try It
Silk Compost is a composting method that uses a silkworm cocoon as the composting material. It is considered to be an eco-friendly and sustainable way of composting because it does not require any additional energy sources or other inputs.
The benefits of silk compost are:
– Silk, being an organic material, decomposes quicker than other materials
– It can be used for all types of plants and vegetables, both indoors and outdoors.
– It does not produce any foul odors or release harmful substances in the air like many other types of composts do.
