    My next door neighbour always gives me his grass cuttings after he has mowed his lawns but I don't know what he thought I could do with this lot he gave me the other month.The watering can I can use but the other stuff is no good to me as I don't have a dog or kids:D

        John, I can imagine a Crane carrying a coconut, but find Swallows doing so hard to swallow,:loll::loll: Scrungee, could it be the compost heap was built around the coconut rather than the nut being added?:dancy::dancy::loll:

        Could have been an African Swallow.

        What are the chances of both me and Scrunge building a compost heap around an existing Coconut?

                    Was anyone else listening to GQT yesterday? I only half caught what someone was saying about finding condoms in the compost heap, something to do with a son not wanting his Mum to know about what he'd been upto:snork:

                      I thought I'd found some condoms in an inherited compost heap on a new plot, but then I realised the previous tenant had been composting half cucumbers without removing the plastic wrappers.

                        Over 2 years later and I found that coconut again a few days ago all black and charred amongst the smouldering embers of our latest bonfire. It must be indestructible!
