Turf compost bin?
Hello all, great site!
Apologies if this has been asked before, I did a number of searches here and didn't find anything directly relevant.
I'm stripping the turf off an area approx. 90ft by 20ft.
I was thinking of stacking my turves to make loam, when a thought occurred to me: why not build a compost bin using the stacked turves as walls? This way I'd get some use out of the turves, and would have a compost bin in situ for the next 12 months while waiting for the turves to rot down.
Is this a good idea or are there pitfalls with this plan? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
