This weekend I sieved through the contents of one of my compost bins
and gained a huge quantity of the most glorious crumbly compost. I
am so smug, it's painful! I have three other bins which are ready,
so I'm going to be impossible to live with this week :~)).


'Compost' is my favourite subject and I am green with envy!!!!!!!!!!!
You are soooooooooooo lucky)))) Enjoy!!!


The bins are simply ex-dustbins, upended or well-holed. I put in a
good variety of materials, mix them (but not *that* often) and add
water only rarely if the contents seem dry. They are cold heaps,
although they get quite hot in summer, so they've taken about 9
months to produce this really splendid stuff.

I just need some rain now, so I can spread it as mulch. Might just
as well let the worms finish the job :~)
