The following list of herbs is not the only ones you should use in your compost heap. However, these herbs are very rich in minerals and elements that make for a good rich compost to use later in your garden. All kind of herbs will add some nutrients to your heap.

Dandelion – It adds sulfur, potassium, iron and copper.

Chamomile - Rich in calcium which helps to alkalize the heap.

Comfrey - Rich in nitrogen, calcium and potassium. It accelerates the breaking down of the heap matter.

Nettle - This is another rich in minerals herb to add to your compost heap. Copper and iron are the main minerals.

Yarrow - This is my preferred compost heap accelerator. The herb is rich in phosphates and copper

If you do not have compost heap trim herbs and scatter the clippings around your garden to act as mulch and fertilizer while they break down.
