Hi all. My compost bin is now two and a half weeks old and I assume it is doing ok.I put tons of kitchen scraps and balance it out with dry leaves and shredded paper. It does not smell at all even when I stand right on top of it so I must be doing something right.I wanted to thank all the posters on this forum for getting me started on my journey to compostdom.

Now for my question: This morning while I was watering my perennials I noticed several slugs around my hostas.I had a friend put them in my compost pile. Seemed ok to me at the time but now I am having second thoughts and wondering if it was ok to add the live slugs to the bin.Hope I haven't created a problem for my pile.

Basically I just need to be reassured that slugs will not ruin my composting adventure.Any and all advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
