Hanging basket graveyard

Our predecessor in this house was the queen of hanging baskets. And at the end of every year she (or her gardener) up-ended them into the compost heap, where the roots continued to grow into a solid mass. We estimate that today we removed the contents of at least 50 baskets - some with the liner still attached and some complete with rusty wire basket. One even had this little chap attached. Wonder how long he'd  been buried there.
