I am an obsessive composter and have been for several years. We currently have four bins on the go and I would happily have more, space allowing.
Last weekend I met a composter even more obsessive than me, which I thought was impossible... He runs an Allotment Group and is the President of a local Leek Society (!!!) and so very experienced and qualified to teach me a thing or two. He even goes go to the trouble of collecting seaweed and sheep poo for his bins and makes usable compost within one month.
So we chatted about the contents of our bins, as you do, and apparently my worms have been trying to escape their bins because I've been adding onion peel. Poor buggers! There I was thinking I was feeding them lots of lovely stuff, and I'm poisoning them :(
Gutted.
I'm so sorry wormsies! Only good stuff from now, I promise.
Our tiny slice of farming life in our very urban garden provides us with no end of amusement and entertainment, mostly down to the animals we keep. These include chickens, cats, a dog and various pests which eat their way through the produce we try to grow. The dog has also tried to eat the chickens. It's a dog-eat-chicken world.

Happy Easter from Bertie
We received an email from Christine, the lady who gave our Light Sussex boy a new home. She sent us some Easter pics of Bertie with his ladies.
I'm so chuffed, he's turned into a very handsome boy.
Here's another pic of him crowing, but Christine reckons he looks like he's smiling ;D
