Would you compost Carrots with root fly in ?
I am thinking of putting some through a shredder and into my compost bin, or should I not ?

Unless you can guarantee that your heap gets up to a really high temperature, I'd burn or skip them.

In fact I think I'd go that just to be safe!

I skipped 6 barrow loads when I first started on my present plot.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
