A slight deviation, it amazes me that when you go to the council "civic amenity " in east Cork there are only so many things you can recycle, but yet if you have a collection they seem to be able to take an awful lot more. Surely its in the councils interest to have more not less recycled.

I think you might find a good web site somewhere with ideas and pointers for composting, or maybe try the gardening section of the local library.

Flys usually collect on discarded kitchen waste, peelings etc, a good covering with grass clippings might help, scrunch up newspapers and try to layer the heap if possible. I use pallets in a square for mine, but have plenty room and am able to move it from 1 square to another after about 6 months to get air into it. If you have someone local with a farm to get manure to add to it it will help with the worm population.
Hope this is of some help
