'Spider[_2_ Wrote:

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 :~)).
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 :~)

Hi Spider,
I have just started composting this year so far so good! with 3 large
wooden compost bins my husband errected for me. I too have some good
compost but showing my ignorance what do you have to do to sieve the
compost? Many thanks Debs in Bristol
