Default coffee compost

thanks for the concern Bertie. The stuff is espresso coffee grounds from
which most of the caffine has been extracted. A little different to the
coffee filter machines. I take on board your comment about amounts of
coffee, I am adding other material as well so it will not all be coffee.
The
pile is actually growing quite quickly. The compost may turn out to be
rubbish but the final results will tell me that. Using a good dump of
coffee
seems like a good possible addition to something I want to bake quickly -
weed seed perhaps. I'll keep playing with it and see what happens.

Rob, all you wanted to know about Star$$ and slugs, but were afraid to ask
