Tired but...

I ache all over, no I've not been to the Gym or rather I have but, to the gardening gym!

On Saturday it was cool and a little bit breezy and it didn't rain here until around 6pm. I had decided that if it was dry, I would empty my compost bin that I stared about 14months ago, big job! It is besides a path at the back of my house, well of course everyone wanted to know what I was doing, so the job took longer than I expected. But... oh boy what a beautiful pile of compost I got out of it. I would have taken a pic but had to go eat and then start on cutting back some saplings and shrubs at the side of my sisters' home as the leaves and dripping water were making her path treacherous to walk on.

Number 1 bin is now back in action with, the number 2 bin full to the brim and hopefully in the spring/early summer will give me some more bootiful compost to feed the borders and tubs!

To anyone out there not convinced yet of the benefits of composting, doubt no more! Get a bin or two or three or more! Or a wormery?

The next big thing is to finally grab a bit of land at the little allotments section we have on the estate and go for it! WHO NEEDS AN EXPENSIVE GYM???
