Composting cooked vegetables

... "Broadback" wrote in message ... Be aware that mice and rats can squeeze through surprisingly small holes. Which is why I'm getting surprisingly small holed weld-mesh Thanks all for your obs. Incidentally if anyone is interested in taking advantage of the DEFRA subsidised compost bins http://www.recyclenow.com/compost/ offer ends soon. Here are some thoughts. I opted for the Green Johanna (page 9 of 10 above) which comes in 4 sections. Green Johanna advantages : It has a permanent base, with ventilators which can be shut - therefore mice-free. Ditto close-able ventilator near top, to shed excess moisture. Disadvantage : Plastic looks wafer thin where the 4 sections are fixed together with self-tapping screws (supplied). In 3 or 4 years I can foresee the plastic cracking. Con 330 (page 2 of 10 above) advantages : It's a solid one-piece construction. It has no base, so will allow worms to enter. Perhaps not so well ventilated as the jolly green johanna, but if the contents need to be 'revitalised' after 3 months - you can let the contents dry out etc, then fork the contents back into the compostor. Anyone read the following, with reference to 'hot heap' and 'cool heap' composting. Any thoughts. TIA. http://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/orga...compost_pf.php Bertie .. |
