Today I have been shredding leaves and other garden waste to speed up composting for next year.
Fruit farm next door are giving me another 15 apple boxes. So moving forward as leaves and other garden waste are collected they will be shredded into boxes. The shredding reduces composting time from two years to a couple of months. Just two days after shredding the compost is already warm to the touch and clouds of water vapour are emitted when it’s turned over.
The fruit boxes of compost will then be used as raised veg beds.
