Hello everybody,
I've got my new plot and I'm very busy making compost bins and raised beds and chasing every horse in Walthamstow ;D
One of the old boys down the lottie was inspecting my kitchen waste compost bin and he remarked that I shouldn't compost onion peelings because the worms don't like them, in fact, they won't come anywhere near my compost.
Is this true? ???
*bowing down to all greater knowledge*

I add onion peelings to my compost have have loads of worms. I do however avoid citrus peel.

It's always 'one of the old boys' ;D I put onion peel and chopped onions in my compost bin and never had a problem...compost has turned out well. :)
Ok, thanks folks, I shall run 'im over with the wheelbarrow tomorrow ;D
If worms don't like onion flavour, why are there lots of 'em at the base of leeks I take out? As Sanders says, careful on the citrus.
Good point, Ken. Funnily enough the old boy also included leeks in what not to put in my compost bin :P
