Good afternoon,

I bought a composter about a month ago, and filled it as per instructions
found on a few gardening sites, as well as following tips on the
Newsgroup
archive.

As far as I am aware I've followed 'best prctice' - a good mix of
peelings,
cuttings from the garden, as well as some grass (not too much!), a bit of
cardboard and some mature to activate the mixture.

The problem that I have is that nothing appears to be happening. Is this
due to one of the following?

1. It's too cold this time of year for the process to start?

2. I should be using a different activator?

Any advice gratefully received.

the unanimous advice given here was to urinate on it. My case comes up
next week...

Umm.... looks as though I am going to have to explain a few things to the
neighbours!
