Default Right! The bunker is built

All I need to do now is add plenty of organic material and cuttings to
start the ball rolling on the manure production front for next years
planting.

Anyone any tips, apart from not adding grass cuttings, as to the best
layering or whatever in a 1m cube old coal bunker?


I'm assuming you mean to use the 'bunker for making compost?

If so - leaves, grass cuttings, soft pruning material, vegetable household
waste can all go in. So long as you keep thing in proportion. Grass is OK as
long as it's not too much in one go,because that will go all soggy and
horrible.

Loads of info he http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compost
