The stables where my daughter rides and we collect poo has just gone over to wood shavings for the stables, which probably means us having to double our storage capacity so we can let it rot for another year.

Rabbit poo is so mild that it doesn't even need to be composted, no matter how fresh it is. Show growers feed their prize roses fresh rabbit poo. I even scoop up bits I find around my pigeon coops when the rabbits try to mooch any dropped food. needless to say, rabbit poo is the ONLY kind you use fresh.

Thanks  :D  Letting it rot wont be a prob i've had my compost bin for 18months now and it's like a tardis when ever i think its getting full it rots down to half full again!!!

When i do finally fill it i'm going to buy another one to go next to it so i can use one and fill the other!!! Finally getting my DH to use it as well. He said you couldn't compost grass, paper and bunny bedding now that i've proved you can with all 3 it should fill up a bit quicker!!!!

Thanks or the advice everyone.................one more thing it there anything i can do to get the amounts of flies down?? a plume of fruit flies escapes everytime i take the lid off!

I'd go easy on the paper.  Lawn cuttings are best added in small quantities and/or mixed with stemmy material and/or part dried beforehand.

Fruit flies are a sign that the heap isn't heating up sufficiently.  Either turn it or, second best, keep it covered with an old piece of hessian carpet or weed control fabric.
