Default old turf

If you dig it in turf slabs and stack it, it rots down to a lovely loam
compost which you can use anywhere

How long does this usually take? I need to know how to work out how much
storeage space I need to give this.


Say, 6 months. But you can stack it 3-4' high, or more if you are
creating a lot!


If you have enough, turf makes an excellent compost heap.
Build three sides from turf blocks and fill with usual compostable materials
from the front.
