Today I opened up my compost bin, it had gone down quite a bit, but I had been adding cardboard, shredded paper, tissue paper over the winter
They had all disappeared, okay there was still a few twigs and root threads left, but the grass cuttings which are just usually a a green slime had rotted away, even that pond weed (the stuff like hair) had gone
I read or someone said urine is good for composting, I guess it must be, mine got regular doses of it
I have raked it over the soil, tomorrow I'm going to dig it in with my rotavator (give it a day to dry out)
The rotted stuff is very dark and rich looking
Cut the grass and I was going to put that straight in the bin, but on seconds thoughts I put a layer of cardboard in first, then a layed of grass, more cardboard, then finished off with a final layer of grass
(I read somewhere, worms cant get enough of ribbed cardboard)
Now I got a whole summer to refill it
