Sorry if This Brings Up the Bile….
…I just have to share.
I’ve started making my own compost. YAY ME for being so biodegradable! It’s been a couple of weeks and guess what I have already?

Maggots.
No. Maggots are NOT a good sign even in compost apparently. It means I have put meat and fat into my compost. I PLEAD NOT GUILTY TO THE CHARGES, YOUR HONOUR. So after gently coaxing husband into coming outside to “help me a bit with my compost”(… NOT A EUPHEMISM) there should be maggots no more inshaAllah.
Another thing – as I was researching my compost maggoty disaster, I came across this little bit of information about worm farming:
Poke about twenty holes in the bottom of one box. Put the lid on the box with hole and place this box on the box without the holes. The bottom box will catch the liquid produced by the worms (worm tea).
WORM TEA. I think I might go and make myself a cuppa.

The compost must be made
before the roses bloom

LoA: I KNOW! I don’t think I can drink tea now without having a disgusting worm image in my mind.
Irving: Oh mashaAllah brother Irving
Come sit and have a cup of worm tea with us as we watch the roses bloom

Science fair project for the kids possibly – don’t think I could deal with it though.
