Also I know that grass clippings can go on the compost heap but I thought that turves might not do it any good. au contraire. using a turf cutter is a very viable (if somewhat expensive) option and is quick and efficient. however, don't put the turves on the compost heap: stack them brown-side-up in a corner of the allotment and in a year or so you'll have a pile of loamy compost perfect for potting. grass clippings CAN go on the compost but should be mixed with plenty of 'brown' material (last year's stalks, stems, shredded cardbord etc. to avoid a 'slimy' heap. Titchmarsh lends his name to a commercial product called 'absolute rot' if you have no 'brown' available. (never used it). |
