LOZ look further back and find the link that i put up, i got mine FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! hmmm mine and pipples links seem to be the same, how strange hmmmmm
 
Welcome to Compost Corner.................Should we have a Gardening Advice area on Accyweb then....?:rolleyes:
 
just got my new composter delivered today and i have a question for you


my pansies have now seen better days, can i put them and the compost from them in my composter?

i have 2 compost bins now, one that is nearly ready which i will use next year for my peas, sprouts, radish and flowers etc

and this new one i will be soley using for my spuds and maybe tomato's sometime in the future, i have got this new one because the one thats already composting has got potato compost in it so i cant use it for next years spuds
 
was going to have a go at this, however I am heard that the bins can attract rats and mice... so I am not going to bother....

Who told you that...a rat or a mouse?...Lol.......never had any problems myself, compost is`nt really what rats & mice go for.......:rolleyes:
 
I've been home-composting for about 20 years and I've never had rats or mice in my compost. I once, when I had an open compost heap, found a hedgehog asleep in it and I've heard of one or two snakes getting in (usually harmless grass snakes) but all I get in my bin is worms, tiny fruit flies and, in the old bin after about 5 years, a colony of ants.
 
Worms, worms & more worms....oh and yes, the tiny fruit flies............but SNAKES..........i think i may prefer the rats & mice.....LOL:eek:
 
Oh I've never found one myself, just heard about them. Forgot to say, though, I get the odd toad, but I like toads. :)
 
We get a lot of frogs in the garden from time to time so no doubt they may be hiding out in there.........:), nowt wrong with a frog or two
 
Although there's link between compost bins and rodents, they tend to be in ones where the owner has put cooked food waste in to the bin. A big no-no!!
