Compost trench.
I've dug a compost trench on my allotment for the benefit of the runner
beans eventually. Yesterday I started filling it with the first batch of stuff from the bokashi bins. I'd read that when filling a compost trench you ought to cover the compost with soil to discourage animals from foraging in it, so I did that - probably 6-8 inches of soil depth over the compost material. This morning I arrived to find evidence of digging and contents of trench spread over several square yards :-( From the amount of activity and spread of stuff it looks as if it was a fairly large animal - badger, fox or dog at a guess. Should I have put more soil over it? Stamped it down harder? Put up "Badgers keep off" signs? Any advice gratefully received.... -- Carol (near Derby) "Never trust a man wearing leather shorts and a plastic dressing gown" - Spray, "The Dangerous Sports Club" |
