Kevin here, from Tasmania. 🙂
Good morning Charles and all the marvellous forum contributors.
Charles: I have a question concerning volume of compost (volume of initial organic matter that is turned into compost).
I notice in your delightful and instructive videos that there you have a dedicated compost area, complete with a roof! Very impressive!
I am wondering, please, if I can ask: approximately how many “bins” (separate areas/volumes) do you have, at approximately what volume (assume about 1 to 1.2m [3 1/2 to 4 feet] high? What are your main inputs? (horse manure, cow manure, garden/kitchen waste etc.)
The reason I ask these questions is that, like you (Charles), I live in a rural area, but it is still a huge challenge for me to gather sufficient raw material for me to turn these inputs into decayed/mature organic matter, ready for my vegetable garden.
Information that you can give might help me, and other readers of the forum, understand better some of your inputs into your garden.
TIA.
Kevin.
