Default Soaking up the juice :)
So i have been very good and started my compost heap but things are a bit moist. It's a council bin with no vents. Can i add something?

Sand?

Regards

Garrett

Default Another quick question
Did you see the interesting article on BBC Online about how composting?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4753331.stm

I was a bit concerned that the lead in the ink and the other dyes would effect the soil, i only have two tubs at present and my compost is a year from being ready but i still like to plan ahead. Where's Geordie ?
