Carmel,

Your scattering seed leads me to tell what I am probably going to do  
tomorrow.

I'm wondering whether my compost is unfrozen at the bottom and whether  
there are some worms or even emergency food like centipedes for the  
robins.

I could turn the compost out onto a tarp and hope some bird notices.

Any thoughts?

Nancy
