A few mixed messages here, cardboard, recyling bin or compost bin ? :mad:

Well I put all my shredded paper and cardboard in the compost bin
When I opened it up, it had all gone, dont know if worms ate it or it just rotted away
Newspaper is very good at breaking down in a Dalek bin, even the wifes weekly magazines (they go through the shredder first though, smaller bits, faster it rots away or becomes a meal for worms or bugs)

I have a deep seated hatred for Tetra packs, not onlythey dont rot away, they are hard to open, spill every where, and leave a sticky residue if you burn them, they seem to last forever

Worms are on their way, 250grams  ;)
It's all about the journey, not the destination

I read or someone said urine is good for composting, I guess it must be, mine got regular doses of it

I might need to buy and stow a small watering can next to the toilet! Perhaps a yellow one . . .  :D  :nowink:

My worms arrived, I put them in my Dalek bin, sperated them, rather than just dump the whole lot in there,

Put a thin layer of grass cuttings over them (I was thinking about insulation, its going to be a hard frost tonight)

Anyway, went back about an hour later, looks like they have tunneled their way into whatever is in the Dalek now

I might hold off for the pee and cardboad for a while :nowink:
