I have yellow eggs in my compost bin. When I squash them there is a milky liquid content. Are they harmful and can I use the compost?
If you found them in a cluster they could be worm, snail or slug eggs. These tend to be slimy and are often laid in clumps.
Worm eggs are good, as the more worms the better. It is unlikely that any slug or snail eggs laid will survive whilst in the bin as they will be eaten by predators or decompose as they become compressed within the bin.
