It's probably best to avoid this – this sort of waste has a tendency to attract pests - plus you don't really want to be walking down to the end of the garden when you've got some food waste.

Each one will have between 5 and 15 tiny worms inside, and these take about 10 days or so to hatch out.

Bread and milk are good for birds and hedgehogs: False Many animals are intolerant of the lactose in milk which can lead to diarrhoea,...
