badersleg and Ace, thanks very much for those detailed replies. It looks like ideally you need both a wormery and a compost heap then, space for both, and the interest/patience to keep on top of both. I'll mull over further, but it sounds like the "return on investment" (as in time and care required) may not be for us. However, your replies have been interesting and helpful. Thanks again.

Ketchup in the larder, eggs in the fridge. Women tell me. P.S. Just in case:  Confusing innit? I have often read elsewhere that eggs are best kept at room temperature. Apparently their coldness, if kept in the fridge, can affect the results of your cooking. Sounds highly specialist/pedantic to me, but, tbh, I know fornication all about cooking. Let alone where to store my eggs. Yes, but that isn't a reason to not keep eggs in the fridge. That's a reason to have a few out in the kitchen at room temp. I typically buy trays of 30 from the farmer's market. The bulk make there way into the fridge (eventually, often after sitting out on the side for a few days till we get round to it). But half a dozen or so will be kept out in the kitchen ready for use.

Special Edition tonight does tomato Sauce ( ketchup ) go in the fridge, and what about EGGS fridge or worktop , eggs in the fridge. Women tell me. P.S. Just in case: Ketchup in the bin (HP sauce rules), plastic ketchup bottle in the recycling box after being washed out.

We put everything compostable into my worm bin
They are ravenous and its hard to keep up ,so I transfer handfuls of them to large leaf piles,about 10' diameter where they chomp away unless all is spread on the beds where birds & rodents chomp them too. Nature tooth and claw. I bought a small bag of them about 15 years ago.
Everything is about 100 yards from the house and as its a rural area the predominant smell is manure . No escape from it.

Wait until they introduce charge by weight. That's when you will find out how nice your neighbours really are!
Pops are also goi g to be s big part of recycling which will affect everyone.
Persistent organic pollutants... most soft furnishings will be classed as this.
Watch a charge coming for disposal or hedgerows becoming even more of a dumping ground.
Lovely this new green world isn't it.

So had a visit from a waste manager this morning.
they publicised the change on the website and social media ( honestly how many people "follow" the local district / County Council on social media, or read the website regularly.
Councillors approved smaller lorries to save emissions, then they approved refusal to take "excess waste" otherwise the smaller lorries needed to make 2 trips ( LOL you couldn't make it up )
So they want us to recycle less, there really is no hope
best bit the guy said break the boxes down and put them vertically in the box as long as part of it is within the box they will take it
