if in doubt ... make compost




I wasn’t sure what I was going to do here today but since I’ve brought with me a backlog of compostable kitchen waste and activator from home I decided to investigate my compost bins. To my delight I discovered perfectly rotted compost, enough to fill seven bags.

Now I realise why gardeners write about sieving compost – I‘ve found a variety of objects that have survived the alchemical process including sticks, elastic bands, mango and avocado pips, bottle lids and plastic labels, but the rest is brown and crumbly as described in the aforementioned gardening books.
