Ok, this is going to sound totally off the wall, but the question is
genuine.
I have a few bottles of really, really bad wine in the house, gifts
from the uninformed, and nasty prizes from pub quizzes.
Anyhoo. *I can recycle the bottles, but I hate to just pour the wine
down the drain if there is any other use I can put it to. *It is truly
too awful to cook with - take my word for it. *Then, suddenly, I
thought: "what about pouring it onto the compost heap?"
Is there any reason why I shouldn't? *More to the point, would it have
any benefit in terms of accelerating the composting process? *Are
slightly sozzled earth worms and other creepy crawlies more efficient

Enquiring minds want to know...

Why don't you use it in slug traps and wasp traps?

I've always thought life was too short for slug traps...
As to wasp traps, I just don't agree with trapping wasps.
Either would be intolerable cruelty to animals - this is really,
really appalling painstripper.


Might also work as a windowlene substitute.

Gasp.


I don't think it would be fairly neutral in terms of its effect on the
compost.


So... you think it would be good or bad?
