Over the last two years i've taken the composting lark very seriously and collected manure,seaweed,leaves and anything else that would make compost and as a result I have too much.Much too much.Ive got two heaps that I havent even opened.

What would be the best way for me to keep it.Should i sieve it and keep it in a covered heap for later use or leave it in the heap until needed.Id guess theres about 40 barrows full in all.Im scaleing down my composting from now on

You can have too much compost? :blink:

You could always try growing some squshes on a heap. Spread it around a bit? Top up your beds?

If you really want to store it then ordinary compost bags will do the trick. It certainly won't go off

I've already topdressed my flower borders,filled a raised bed for my strawberries,spread a good 6 inches on where the veg grows,mulched blackcurrants,rhubarb,apples,plumbs etc.Ive got 4 squash plants ready to go out when(if) the frosts stop this year.So just another 35 barrow loads to deal with

Just get it in the ground.  No such thing as too much.  My soil is very clay and I would dream of having too much.  Only took it over last year and I have two Daleks and a rather large horse muck mound rotting down.  Cannot rot fast enough for me.  At home I always have two on the go and for years I have just shovelled it on the garden.  Now I have soil that you can run through your hands (have to water it in 'dry' weather but it does retain the moisture quite well).
