compost full of black fly :(
I went to get some of my compost out of the big plastic compost bin
that I have and it seems to be full of black fly which really deterred me from using it as I didn't want to spread them around the garden . What should I do ? I'd rather not use chemicals Can I use this compost ? |

Why not? They are quite harmless to plants and animals, and will disappear when you spread it. Those black flies are NOT 'blackfly'. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Do you eat oranges, don't put the peel in the compost, I stopped putting it in the compost bin and the flies went. Harry |

They are harmless and like many of the other creatures that you will find in a compost pile it's part of the normal process. Once you have removed the top few inches that may not yet be ready, you should have no problem with spreading the contents of the rest of the bin. -- Alan news2006 {at} amac {dot} f2s {dot} com |
