My mom in California has a compost bin (one of those Bio-Stack types). However, a nearby bougainvillea has discovered it too - the plant is flourishing and the really nice fine material at the bottom can't really be harvested because there is a thick mat of fine roots. She told me she is doing things like taking a chunk of the roots, soaking them in water, and making compost/root tea of some kind! But that seemed a little unfortunate, so I was wondering - anyone with similar experiences? Can something like hardware cloth be used on the bottom?
Thanks!
