What is in Everton Mints or Werthers lollies that make them unsuitable for composting? Surely if we eat them, there would not be anything dangerous. rob |

There is nothing dangerous in them but compost heaps work better with organic matter, like weeds, veggie peelings - not sweets. Tina |

But they are basically sugar, they won't do any good. They'll slowly dissolve and leach through the heap. They won't add any bulk to it. -- Kay |
