    I am desperate to compost my own garden waste but have nowhere to do it. I was wondering if I could use one of those one ton sacks in my garage? Theres plenty of space in the garage to do it. The garage isnt attached to the house so smell and insects wont matter. Is there a fire risk?

    Kind regards.

    George - if you have a garden and are producing waste from it, can you not find a small corner to accommodate a 'dalek' type compost bin?

    There is a low fire risk as decaying vegetation can self combust, just check the temperature regularly. If it's too hot for your hand turn it out and mix it up.

    Look up "bokashi" - it's a method of indoor composting. I haven't done it myself but have read on other forums that it has been done successfully :gnthb:

    I have had a look at your website, content OK. But you have a serious problem with colours. You are trying to convey a message so why make it difficult to read with colours which are difficult to see the text from the background. I studied signwriting many years ago and there are certain colours which are good (think about the AA road signs, black on yellow, the best combination), Red on green and green on red are the least legible colours.
