Yes yes. I’m still doing it. 3 carrier bags full of my veg debris have gone into the composter on the allotment. The first one was well yucky. I hadn’t lined the bucket with newspaper (also recycled!) so slime I shall not describe slid onto my shoes in transit. But you live and you learn dontcha? If a certificate for the serious composter exists I feel I deserve one. With stars and distinctions. From my elegantly photoshopped and incredibly sharp picture you will see that I compost a variety of items. Most notably heather and orange peel. You may think heather rather strange. Am I cooking with the stuff? Thankfully no. That would be as revolting as cooking with lavender, if you ask my opinion. I found it on a walkabout in my locality and thought it pretty. Upon returning I attempted to put in a vase but it was too far gone. Heather flower after heather flower fell all over my work tops and floor. So in the compost it went. And as for the orange peel all there is to say is that I’ve eaten rather a lot of them lately. Simple really. But you can compost anything without causing a stink as long as it hasn’t been cooked or comes from an animal. Happy composting.
