New Too

[madderbat]

Please don't compost your loo rolls!

Certainly seems like a good way to use the old toilet tubes so my daughter can't paint any more of the damn things.

Hi Peregrin and welcome.
We are newbies at composting, and still learning but have found out that there are many other uses for toilet roll/kitchen roll inners - you can grow seedlings in them, so please don't compost them! send them to us if you don't want them
I've just got Mr MB away from buying peat pots every time he wants to set some seed
Egg boxes are good for tiny seedlings too, but can be composted and go down quite quickly.
All the best

Hello Peregrin, leaves rot down very quickly in a bin bag. When their ready they look like well rotted leaves. Don't use beach leaves though - they never rot!

Hello Peregrine and Wapentake - and welcome to the Vine. Lots of helpful information here as I think for most of us its a trial and error business!
