Re: Strange eggs found on allotment!

My most precious compost accelerator is chicken droppings, full of bacteria and incredibly good compost maker - I'm lucky in that I keep poultry and so have a ready supply.

Other advice I would add: regularly turn over the heap, keep it damp but not soaking, never add more than a six inch layer of the same material, keep it covered, allow air to circulate (are the sides of your heaps slatted?)
