Having just scarified our lawn I have a large amount of moss to dispose
of! I have saved some for the hanging baskets - Are there any other
uses for the moss in the garden or is it OK to put on the compost heap?

I guess if you throw it in with a big pile of lawn clippings the heat
generated will finish it off. The idea of giving it to the birds does sound
good however.

Put it in one of those peanut bags and hang it up for the birds.
They'll love it for nest lining.

what a good idea, I wasted a fair bit of time this afternoon watching
several jackdaws,they were sitting on my old pony picking out lumps of
hair and flying off to line their nests. It does not bother her as she
is shedding her winter coat indeed she seems to quite like it. We often
find old nests with her hair inside :-)

That does not sound a waste of time to me. One of those magical
moments --much better to watch someone or something working than having to
do it yourself:-)

I didn't know Kate could build nests. I'm impressed. :-)

Tsk, tsk. Most women build nests, you know. ;-))
