Thanks everyone, for the reassurance. My compost has 'seemed' to be not far
from perfect for a while now.

I am not trying to be clever, but since I have used wooden box frames, kept
a wide mixture of ingredients, placed old glazed windows over the tops to
enable the compost to warm... and added a little nitrogen, (in one form or
another).

Kept aerated by turning every month or so, it comes out great after not many
months at all.

I was watching the TV earlier tonight and an 'allotmenteer' said she
doesn't compost rhubarb leaves because they are too acid.

I have always composted ours.

Any comments please?
