What are you covering them up with? Since I've discovered my council
doesn't after all distribute the compost from the recycling centre to
the general public (I asked the attendants there and they told me the

source of bulk compost. I don't have enough of my own; just the one
dalek and that's not ready yet. Any ideas?

Grass cuttings, straw, hay and even newspapers will do!
