Hi again

Thanks for replies.

I should have said DIGESTER rather than composter.You see can details of digesters at greencone.ie I would like to get feedback if possible from someone who is using a digester before investing in one. I already have 3 compost bins and couldn't be without them. I am actually going to get another bin for acidic waste - such as citrus - orange, lemon, grapefruit waste - a very slow process but I'm patient and can wait! We have a good no of coniferous trees near the house and needles etc that fall from those would also go in that special bin.The resultant compost would be useful for plants etc that require lime-free soil - ericacious compost as they call it in the garden centres. I am certainly considering the wormery and I do realise that it has to be monitored carefully. If only I could conquer my unease about those good hard-working creatures! I'll have to psyche myself up! Maybe in the New Year ...
