HOW HIGH??

Is your patio big enough to have another one on and disguise it? Or perhaps the same idea in the front garden.

 

Couple of stolen wheelie bins out the front with holes drilled into the bottom, keep turning it from one bin to another.

 

Get a bigger ladder,sorry Armandii ..just can't help myself....

 

stop shopping as much,burn some of ur paper/cardboard waste instead..would be a start,cant u dry out some garden waste n burn it? i do like dried stems from nigella eg ? maybe

 

Just had a look on your 'Amble' thread Armandii....could you squeeze another bin in at the back of your garden next to the conifer?

 

He's like me, if you can recycle it then its got to be done. Good mixture of plant waste, kitchen waste(high in nitrogen) & Cardboard (High in Carbon/lignins) Makes for a good balanced compost

Only thing I put out for the council re cycle thingers is plastic & glass. Aluminium & Steel cans get taken down the scrappy, they give me money for it.

 

never knew that about the cans zig,am i better off saving them for the scrap men(regular round here) id rather they made some money

Put it all in your brown bin, give it to the council, and then buy it back once they've composted it? !!

1) Compost it faster, thus you will get more through your heap in any given time. Perhaps try additives like QR (From Organic Gardening, or whatever they call themselves). Perhaps put it through a shredder before adding to the heap, to speed up the composting process. Turn the heap more often (like Monty Don does ...)

2) Put the rough compost in the greenhouse border, mixed 50:50 with soil, and grow Tomatoes etc in it. Then in the Autumn take that out, use on the beds (it will be much finer, more broken down, and any weed seeds will have germinated in the greenhouse and probably succumbed to the heat before you had time to hoe them)

 

The title reminds me of the joke that did the rounds when the chinese cockle pickers died in Morcambe Bay. - apologies if it's insensitive.
When asked about safety the manager said "I told them when the water gets to knee high clear the area and finish for the day".
The spokesmen for the pickers responded with "Ni-Hi was in the van having his lunch".

 

Move & start again.
