Compost Bins.

[Stringfellow]

Hi Pete and thanks for these thoughts and ideas. I’m following in your footsteps as built a simple brick foundation for my bins which should mean they are easy to clear and replace every few years or so; simply cut through the cable ties/ wire that holds them together and remove. I also built them as a unit of three, the idea to make turning from one to the next easier. Packing the gaps in the pallets with scrunched up newspaper creates a kind of cavity insulation alround the bins but it’s too early for me to know if this is really a good use of time – I hope so. Green manures are growing well here following your recs and a fellow allotmenteer is donating some bocking 14 to me some time over the next few weeks! Making compost is almost as much fun as growing the veg…..
