Jenny Smedley Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hi , As you can probabely tell from all the posts, I'm running around like a headless chicken!!! (Sorry!) I have a bad red mite infestation in my cube ( depite Xeno200 & Poultry shield!) and had a sudden thought: I usually compost my chicken's nest box bedding & poo tray contents ( I use easibed & shredded paper) - is that a good idea as I have a red mite problem at the moment ?? Will the heat in the plastic compost bin be enough to kill the red mites or am I just going to spread the problem around my garden & veg patch ? My chickens free range all round the garden. All thoughts welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I wouldnt risk it myself, I am putting the bedding in the council green waste bin - do you have something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 we're not allowed ours in our brown garden waste bin. Mines going in the black bin this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
