I keep chickens and use their spent bedding to add to compost heap. I

have
an infestation of red mite in the henhouse at the moment so they are

present
in the chicken droppings/straw bedding mixture.

Is it safe to add this manure to the compost heap? I guess the

compost
heap
gets quite hot but red mite like the warmth.

Any advice/comments would be appreciated.


Burn the little barstewards.

I'm gonna get'em, they don't know it yet but I'll get'em!

Seems a shame if the droppings etc are no good for the compost heap

Use the ash it will be fine.
