Reply To: Municipal compost

[Gary.J.Kelsey]

Thanks Charles

You have confirmed my suspicions.

I have to confess, I have already, somewhat, started spreading onto existing beds, in a response to smoother weeds that I have allowed to get away in the last few weeks.

Therefore, once these beds get a good soaking of overdue rain, I will cover them over with tarps to speed up decomposition.

My new beds, on the adjacent plot I have recently taken over, don’t need to be ready till May/June, so I will wait till April to build them.

So back to the very large pile of municipal compost, would it help to cover that in a tarp as well?

Thanks again Charles
