Louise Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Well last night I decided it was time to move the compost bin I got a free one from the council a couple of years ago and have enthusiastically used it as much as possible but there were a few problems It isn't big enough for my garden so most of the grass cuttings were put in a seperate pile behind the shed You can't get at the mature compost as you have to take the whole thing off and the new stuff at the top just falls over and makes a mess I have since bought a new one which was delivered last weekend and I sited it and decided to put the existing compost into it and get rid of the other bin So I shifted all the old compost into the new bin on top of a layer of straw and then covered it with another layer of straw for aeration and fingers crossed The good news is the stuff at the bottom third of the bin was lovely, dark and crumbly so I must be getting the mix right It is just a shame I have now mixed it in with the younger stuff so back to waiting for it to mature I think a liberal supply of you know who poo is resposible for how nice it was The new bin is barely a third full so I hope this one is now big enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Oh, dear. We have several composts, but we've never really got the mix right-it's getting better though! You'll get some good compost soon though-I hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
