found in the compost heap...

in Fruit & veg
Hi GWers,
i was turning my compost heap in the garden yesterday and came across what looked like two honey combs. As far as i know there aren't any hives locally and i definitely haven't added these to the compost myself.
Any thoughts?

I'd keep a bit to show to interested little people (it is a thing of beauty) and break the rest up to mix it into the compost heap.
The presence of a nest suggests your compost heap may have been too dry. Compost needs a bit of moisture (but not sopping wet) to help the decomposition process.
Thanks all for your comments!
And the reason as you said yourself is because its dry and woody... apparently that is a wasps favorite condition for nesting.
