Compost bin full of acorns thanks to a squirrel
I have noticed that even though we cover our comp bin its full of
acorns. I think its due to a squirrel (grey) that we often see in & around the bin. Is it s problem (will i get loads of oak saplings growing out of my compost? Thanks |

The composting will kill most, and the others will be mildly annoying weeds - just pull them up and recompost them. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Or pot them and sell them at a farmers market or give them as gifts...It is interesting to note that if you were to take a bunch of these acorns and pot them intentionally...none would grow. But throw then in a compost pile and bingo-trees galore! Gary |
