Lorraine, you want to use shavings, it rots quicker than straw, I only use straw in the nesting boxes. I hope you're having a lovely lot of eggs? mine are laying well. |

I Use those huge tubs that trees are transported in as my compost bins, I have one full and another half full so far with all veg and fruit peelings, except for spuds as my hens have them after I've cooked them. I also rake around in my hen house and roll there poo in the shavings from the floor, I pick it out and add that to the bin, since the end of March my bin is now half full of worms, I don't add much grass to it as I have a lot of lawn and I dont want a stinking mass of rotting grass, all in all I am pleased with how its all working, I cover mine with an old piece of carpet. |

Most important thing is to WATER it - and you need lots of worms. I have 3 wheelie bins full. |

I have drilled a couple of holes in the bottom of my wheelie bin compost, and put an old washing up bowl under it to catch the overflow.... water that down well and use it when you water with the watering can! |

Hubby says put a spot of lime in it and pee in it but think specky already doing that, at our old house hubby used to go in shed at night do the busines then into compost pile. |
