Our compost bin is great but you have to just leave it alone in the summer. The UK have some great compost bins and everyone on my estate uses one regularly. Great tip about not lifting the lid.

It says in all the books that it's okay and it makes the bin smell a little bit nicer anyway :) Hi Asha, our coffee machine doesn’t have filter paper so I don’t put that in.

Have you been including the filter paper as well? For some reason I’ve been reluctant to chuck ground coffee into the compost bin although I have read about it.

As Clare says you get obsessed with watching out for what other people throw away. coffee grounds are good, so is paper. No meat or twigs though. Good luck. oh you’ll love it.

Well, it's protien I suppose :-) I'm just embarking of the composting route - I have a couple of the plastic barrel composters (free from the local council) and the mistress of the house bought me a wormery form xmas (the worms for which have just arrived!).

Good advice. I also shove in the shreddings from Ryan's office shredder every now and again. It dissappers over night.

I've got to teh stage where if I'm at a friends and they're preparing food and their own peelings will be thrown away, I have asked if I can take them home from the compost. I only do this with pals who already know how bonkers I am, but they still give me funny looks! I absolutely agree about composting - it’s satisfying and addictive.
