The Compost Bin
The compost bin came with promises. It would recycle all our organic household waste into planet friendly fertiliser to use on the garden and in pots. Wow. Hasn't quite worked out like that. After a time emptying the small organic waste bin into it and not really noticing anything happening, it finally became apparent that not only was no composting taking place - as in anaerobic digestion by microbes - but it appeared to have become a hangout for thousands of worms. Over the following months the worms increased in numbers, but I thought I'd leave them to it, must be natural after all. Then I noticed slugs too thought what I was putting in the bin was pretty tasty. Trouble is, while I can accept that worms will eventually produce a nutrient rich 'soil' for me, I have a feeling slugs will turn it into a slimey pile of something nasty, and unfit for putting on the garden. Then my partner came up with the perfect suggestion. A compost bin party for all our birds, or at least those with a non-vegetarian diet; that's the blackbirds and thrushes for starters, robins like a worm or three for breakfast... yes it'll be quite a party. So I plan on emptying the bin soon, upending it into a pile and leave it to the birds to sort out. Then the remains can go back into the bin to continue composting, perhaps with a little help from some piss. |
