If you’ve been paying attention to my blog then you’ll recollect that Oli and I built some beautiful compost bins https:\/\/junglefreedomfighters.com\/?p=1392<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, it turns out that because my compost bins are built beneath a tree it ends up being a bit dry. It got so dry that a bunch of wasps, and I mean thousands of the little buggers, decided to make a nest there. Usually I’m pretty cool about stuff like but they started freaking me out whenever I went into my shed and they even started flying into my office when I had the windows open.
