Between blotch and blok

Interesting thoughts about composting biodegradable sanitary protection. Is it worth investing in a wormery for this, I wonder. Most of our other compostable waste goes into our green bin since there's currently no gardening activity to use compost on.

There are, I suppose, two considerations:

• Effort: am I (and it will be me!) willing to tend to the worms instead of just putting all the compostable waste in the convenient green bin?
• Cost: there's an initial investment of c. £80 (is that about right? it's a figure I remember from somewhere, but I know there are folk out there who'll know) for perhaps ten years or so (based on my age and family history) when there's the extra feminine waste in addition to the potato peelings et al.
