My mum had some bulbs delivered by mail which were wrapped in wood
shavings.She wants to make a hole and add the shavings to the compost
heap. I am not sure if this would be a good idea.

We do not know what type of wood these shavings are made from although
the amount is small, approximately 1/2 a bucket.

Could I have your comments please as to whether wood shavings would be
beneficial to the heap ?

Thanks.

Mike.


As there was no ill effect to the bulbs, then the wood shavings should
be OK. I would scatter them over the top of the heap as a layer, well as
far as half a bucket would go.
