Hi Ken,
Do you have any micro/small breweries nearby? I have been taking spent hops from my local brewery since the beginning of the year. We collect between 4-6 big sacks each week, which we mix with stable waste (delivered direct to our allotment site), veg peelings, cardboard & paper shredding. We used to have grass clippings, but our pet hens ate most of the grass in our north facing garden, so that’ll have to wait until I re-turf it for the 3rd time on 10 years!
The compost that we make is fab. We do turn it on a regular basis and we have quite a few bays, but it could be done on a smaller scale. This year has been my best ever for produce from the plot. This site & Charles are inspirational. Looking forward to getting my copy of the new book.
Clare
