Beware of the elder. You don't want to spread that about.

The Compost is right under the elder which I guess means it could be
riddled with it? That's if the elder is alive. It looks pretty
defunct, did in October when we moved in.
The elder tree is deciduous. But it won't do any harm if it's still
alive: if there's room, it can be worth having a couple for the berries.
I suspect Jenny's thinking of ground elder, which is a pernicious weed.

Ah!
It's a shame, but I reckon its berry producing days are a distant memory.
