Monday 22nd January
Arriving on site I was horrified to see how much damage I caused to the verge just by parking next to the plot!
However, once I'd arrived I set to removing the front of the middle, more mature compost bin. Cutting a 2 to 3 inch slice down the front of the stack and then shovelling that layer into the barrow means all the layers in the heap get mixed together. This the loose dry top layer gets minded with the wet compact bottom layer and the green layer off grass cuttings in the middle.
I finished with a nice empty bin ready for me to transfer the contents of the outside bins across
In the end 10 barrow loads of compost were spread over where I plan to grow my sweet corn and the extra one where I will plant my courgettes.
Some real work shovelling but it was great to have that done. I need the space for the fresh compost material.
