DIY potting compost

LOL. How controversial can an allotments forum get?
Do we get taken out and shot for mentioning weed killer or slug pellets or a dislike of some creature or other? What about cultivating the wrong variety of food, or dare I mention, having a shed door on your allotment shelter ( which is banned on my site). I already got a post removed on a certain Social Media site for mentioning Round-Up :)
Is this going to be one of the list of places where I get booted from? :)

Probably, one day.

I think it was the word 'black' which upset the moderators. The old BBC site had some very amusing fallings out over what could be considered to be trivial things. The children and hedgehogs saga even led to a Solicitor's letter being posted. So long ago and a more innocent time.
I also remember a posting of mine being removed because it infringed copyright. That was very odd as the piece of poetry which I posted was authored by................me. So any copyright would have been mine.

LOL Paulh
I guess this refers to me. Point taken. It was one of those decisions that could have gone either way. As a rabbit lover myself I try to make a joke when people talk about eating my pets. But on this occasion, I was asked to remove this by one member who was concerned about how this would affect another member. Neither of these are regular posters any more but it does seem to have rankled with you so thanks for bringing the subject back up again.
Paulh:
It didn't rankle, it still amuses me. I use it as an example of how difficult it is to moderate any forum!

Back to the D.I.Y compost. I have just received a large amount of grass cuttings courtesy of my greenskeeper neighbour. Mixed them with leaves and vegetable waste. Given a decent damp warm summer it should turn into goof friable stuff for nest year. Will need sieving as ther are lots of beech nut shells mixed in with the leaves.
