home made compost
« on: September 13, 2007, 22:36 »
Decided today to tidy up the flower borders, don't do this much, not very good with flowers.  Anyway, decided to loosen the compacted soil where there are bulbs and to cover it in a layer of my home made compost, let the worms do the work of digging it in.  This is the first successful load of compost I have deliberatly made.  I iseved it to get rid of the big lumps and put them back in the current box of compost to do a bit more rotting down and once sieved you'd not have known the difference between shop bought and mine, except that mine had no debris in it!  Sad to be so proud of something so simple but there you go.  Only down side is that there is only enough compost to cover around 1/3 of the flower borders!

Indeed!  And it is now covered in anti cat smelly stuff to prevent the kitties thinking I have put it there for their convenience!!  :wink:

I know how you feel - we get obsessed with our compost. All that smelly rubbish goes in the top, and then that lovely black clean gorgeous stuff comes out the bottom!
Pure magic, and all free.

The only downside to homemade compost is that production can't keep up with my demand!  :cry:  :lol:  If it did, I'd have to get a front end loader to turn it all over  :lol:
