Just had a quick scan till later. Its now in my favourites page in my allotment file. Thanks.

Great site  :)

You noticed who hosts the site?

Oh no GM baddies!

finding little balls in some oldish over wintered compost, yellow, are they slug eggs?

Probably. What size are they?

Match head? maybe a little smaller, some are an off white colour as well as yellow, they are crunchy with a milky inside, when sqaushed, (not eaten) :)

Slugs.

I think you may find this is slow release fertilizer, its added by the compost company as part of the process. I wrote to one company a couple of years ago about this, that was the explanation. And I didn't get more than my normal share of slugs. ;D ;D

You had me seriously thinking then, but,i know bnq don't encorparate that type of fertiliser in the crap i buy,  so, thanks for your reply but will settle for eggs, !UNLESS, someone has the same story?
