One other quick question, I've noticed some run off coming out of the
composters, (the stuff was very squigy) it's just running onto rough grass
at the moment, but there's a herb bed a few feet away, Im wondering if this
will do any harm??

Herbs tend to thrive on very poor soil ( at least the most aromatic
ones ), and the stuff oozing from the heap is chock full of nutrients
as well as being pretty strong.
So there's a danger of scorching, and a danger that if it reaches the
herb bed it'll perhaps encourage oodles of growth at the expense of
flavour.

Regards,
