Hmm - I wonder if I could use the sruff from the school kitchens next

Off course!! You'll never have enough to make gorgeous compost as long
as you mix in different stuff and not only kitchen grub. But I'm sure
you know that too. The stuff does its stuff by itself.

Or maybe I have enough to be going on with - especially as I have
a tonne of horse manure being delivered on saturday! Nothing like an
enthusiastic novice I suppose I'd better clear a small space in
which to put it....


I wait for October before getting mine - feels more autumnal then and
that combine with bonfires etc. it's my favourite time of the year at
the lotty. I'm a secret fire starter ...

I'm sneaking down there tomorrow ( a day earlier than my contract) to
give it a good strim as I believe the weather will change on Friday.
Again.


On Saturday it's my lotty's 100th birthday. We've got a party
organised. I (and my better half) have made a wooden sign for the
entrance of the allotments. Lets hope this sign will last another 100
years!
