Compost

We have two compost bins and a giant compost mound. The two bins have been slowly coming apart at the seams so we have dug them out and used some of the compost and returned the rest to one of the bins to finish off. We have moved one of them closer to the house, and will move the other when it is emptied of compost.

One bin behind the house

Still got some composting to go

It seemed in the bins that some parts were too soggy and some too dry. We are not sure when we should do differently but think perhaps we should have mixed more.
Ultimately we are planning to have larger ones made from wood up at the potager and some kind of smaller ones just for temporary storage by the house. We could then mix by moving the heaps from one bin to another (the current plastic bins are rather to fragile for this).
But in the mean time we were very please to have some compost to mound up our potatoes with (I hope you are reading the Dunx - you pointed out last year that we were meant to mound them up... but we didn't... this year we have. Hopefully it will improve the number of potatoes we get!)
