Hello, I am new. Haven't got a clue how to post.......I took over a new garden 2 years ago, and discovered a large compost heap. As I started to dig it out I thought "Hmmm, (sorry!) there's an awful lot of bees around today" I stepped back to take stock and realised there was a bumble bee nest in the heap. I rang the local bee man who said I would have to wait until January before I could use all that lovely compost. Frustrating, but it pays to be nice to bees. When I finally cleared the heap I found a child's paddling pool buried at the back.
Also all the usual trowels, crisp wrappers and (worse than envelope windows) shredded envelope windows! And those suppose3dly biodegradeable plastic bags that some people put their kitchen waste in. They may biodegrade, but not quickly enough to disappear in an ordinary compost heap.

I once turned my own bins and ended up with 5 sloworms in a bucket to be carefully replaced when I'd finished turning.
