Does anyone know anything about gardening?

I found that I had to move my compost bin last week, to make room for the garden office that I am building.

Things that don't compost well:

• Whole potatoes - they just sprout.
  
• Whole aubergines.
  
• Something that was just a big ball of mush.
  
• Clumped leaves
  
  

Things that did compost well:

• Grass cuttings mixed with shredded paper
  
  
  

I think that getting rid of a load of potting compost & topsoil also helped the process work well.

The heap was teaming with life (RIP the mouse family whose nest I accidentally destroyed), and I'm looking forward to next year when I can spread it all about.
