Evicting fruit flies from the compost bin

Not being a proper gardener, our compost bin is mostly full of "green" organic waste (unfinished apples, old bits of veges, tea leaves) and hardly any "brown" waste (which in our household is mostly bits of shredded cardboard).

As a result, the bin has fostered a largish population of fruit flies, as well as a couple of very happy weed plants.

So I have dumped most of a bag of citrus fertiliser into the bin. At least now the contents look more like what we are supposed to end up with eventually!
