My compost bin has been listing more and more over the last few months, decided to empty it to have a look at the contents and then relocate the bin a couple of metres to the left on a flatter spot... Wow, what a micro-environment! A family of mice, worms aplenty and every insect known to man... Wasn't very good compost, some leaves and twigs hadn't rotted down but I hadn't been layering properly when I started anyway... I put everything back in with a layer of shredded paper every six inches, I'm hoping this will do the trick over the next six months and I'll be able to use the compost in a new veggie bed...
My veggie patch still isn't very successful, rocket and bokchoi have been great, got a few green beans and snow peas, maybe a handful... Courgettes were a disaster as were the peppers and the aubergines have flowered but that's about it... I'm giving them another week... Got a little bit of broccolini this week, tasty but tiny yield...
Sowed lots of cavolo nero and they've sprouted OK, hoping for good things as I've got a commercial juicer arriving any day now... I'm a shit gardener... One generation, that's all it takes to lose the knack... I've let my whole family down... 😂
Anytime you need a leak either do it on the compost or into something you can pour it from into the compost. A wee bit of wee now and again helps with the compost breakdown. And no, I'm not taking the piss.
into something you can pour it from into the compost
..as in: when it's inconvenient to directly piss onto the compost as it's raining or something, so you piss in a flower vase you have standing nearby, so you can "pour it from into the compost" later?
Apparently the first wee of the day is the best too.... fuck knows what the neighbour's might think. Hopefully wont wake up to a lawn of frozen sausages
