New to gardening? Compost confused?

Hope the following pictures might help :-)

Not a big garden. 20 ft x 120 ft but put to good use and packed tight :-)

err how long to get it like this? 22 years of change, but finally
'settled down' to a plan over the last 6 years

You got some decent compost bins!! U build em yourself?

Ed


Hi Ed

Yes. 3 x 1 sawn, drilled and coated with preservative.

Want some closer pictures or details?

When the working one on the right, the one under the plastic sheet is full
to overflowing, the one under the roofing felt lid is sifted and bagged and
the rest scattered as mulch, then the working one is turned into the now
empty one and off we go again :-) Anything which has not rotted down goes
back into the working bin in the bottom.

:-))

Seems to work for someone who 'Hasn't a clue' ;-)

Mike
