Since there haven't been too many responses, I will
give my non very knowledgeable contribution.  Tin and
chrome (the most toxic of the standard mordants) are
considered to give the brightest shades.  I think that
good old alum should give some nice results, though
not as bright.  

Hope someone is going to save all the veg peelings for
compost! - wish I could be there with my pail.
