My compost bin is crawling with woodlice who are working hard, turning my garden and kitchen waste into compost.
I put a full carrot that was past its best in there yesterday afternoon. The woodlice soon got to work on it – look at it now:
That didn’t take long, did it? At that rate they’ll have eaten their way through the lot in no time.
Talk to you later,
Susan.

I have loads of woodlice in my compost bin too which always leg it when I open it… They don’t get through the carrots that quickly though! Wow.

Mine’s like that – a seething mass of black that disappears in a split second. I think there might be too much woody stuff in my compost bin.
