Wow so many comment thank you all.
Sorry not replied sooner I have been decorating.
I am going to clean out the butts, I remember reading somewhere seniors with health issues(which I am and have many health issues should clean out once a year. Still not sure what to use but I have bought a mop and bucket.
The reason I asked this in the first place is because last year I had a very bad cough which came back a number of times. GP referred me to the hospital and the X/ray showed something in my lungs. When the consultant found out I was bin composting and turning the compost three times a week he told me this was probably the problem and said it would be a good thing to stop bin composting. I did and haven't had the problem since.
If I had thought about it I should have used a mask when turning rotting materials.
Anyhow thanks everyone for all your comments and happy SAFE gardening.
