flax seed and oatmeal

I have some expired oatmeal and ground flax seed - can I add it to my compost?

TIA

I'm sure you could. Maybe mix it in well with the existing pile so birds and rodents don't think you just put out a lovely buffet especially for them. :wink:

I'm not sure exactly where they would fall in the Greens vs. Browns since they contain a fair amount of protein =nitrogen (greens).

I don't know why I was worried - I just knew I needed to hear from the nice people on this forum before I proceeded to dump and stir.
