Your Day (apart from gardening) - what took place?

I cannot imagine a better one!

 

Fabulous news, @Linz !!!
So, begin one composter *this* year (and don't forget to layer your chook gold with other compostables) then you can begin your 2nd one next year while the first one rots downs at leisure, thus the cycle begins

 

Thanks @"M" I'm well chuffed! Been googling away and found a lovely composting flow chart

 

You could have saved yourself some Google time ... our @shiney posted a fab and informative post (with pictures!) on composting

 

Ooh! Lovely thanks again M, you gem!

 

One more thing @Linz ... if you get offered another composter, do take it! Three is by far the best number to have to keep a good rotation of compost going. Ideally, (but not always practicable for many) the way to do it would be:

Year 1, bin 1: fill
Year 2, bin 2: fill (leave bin 1 to continue to rot)
Year 3, bin 3: fill (leave bin 2 to continue to rot; use contents of bin 1)
Year 4, bin 1: fill (leave bin 3 to continue to rot; use contents of bin 2)
Ad infinitum

The one thing you will notice is that using chicken gold will really speed up the composting process. But, DO give it a good chance to heat up thoroughly to kill off any seeds hiding in it (e.g. weed seeds, tomato seeds etc., ).

Your vegetable patch is going to love you and your compost!!

 

Still got that cough then?
Be careful ... ... you don't want others to think it's Kennel Cough :rasp:

 

I spent the afternoon shopping. I need a black shirt for the weekend, so I went to buy one ...


... could I find one? Could I heck! Still, the Jewess in me is thinking: saved money!

 

Only thing around here at the moment is a owl

 

Is it a ginger owl though

 

It is my day too.
