Good Morning Vinther and Macson and thank you both for your comments of my posts.
The rustic compost bed was made on my allotment, it was on an area about 13ft x 13ft which had not been cultivated for several years except for some old Raspberry canes it was mainly laid to rough grass that was cut about twice a year. I initially removed the raspberries and covered the ground for about six months with thick cardboard. I’ve found old bike boxes are best for this, then laid wood chips over the top. So by the time the compost bed was built the underlying grass had well gone.
I’m in Bristol and have found that cycle shops are only too willing to give their old boxes away.
Regards.
Ron.
