Turning garden waste into compost
Great weather for soil improvement! I always enjoy the winter for the speed of decomposition of all the prunings and woody weeds from the year, with several months good "rotting weather" before they become a fire hazard next summer.
Does anyone want a hand turning their garden waste into compost? I charge an hourly rate but am very fast. It's amazing how quickly a huge pile of branches and weeds can be turned into a neat pile of poles which lie straight and can be placed along a fence or under shrubbery, creating invertebrate habitat, while the leafy twigs and weeds close the gaps, assisting rotting.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
