Worms Worms Worms = Happy Compost!
I thought I would share with you what I found when I lifted the lid off one of my compost bins at the allotment at the weekend.
I had taken the bucket I keep in the kitchen for peelings, cardboard, scraps etc. When it gets full I take it up to the allotment, empty it into one of the dalek style bins then bring the empty bucket home to start the process again. It’s just a normal black bucket but I use a shower cap on the top to keep the heat and smell in and the flies out!
I took it to the allotment on Sunday to carry out this procedure but when I went to lift the lid off the ‘dalek’, I thought, “ooh, that’s different”. It felt very heavy for a start which was strange because it’s just plastic and usually pops off easily. When I managed to get the lid off, this is what I saw!

I admit I had to remind myself, this is a good thing!
