Composting
Next on the list was to dedicate somewhere on the plot for composting.
There was an existing area by the shed which had become a bit of a dumping ground for everyone it seemed.
I actually saw someone wheel up and chuck a load of stuff on the pile - being a newbie I didn’t really know if this was normal or something I should be miffed about?
When I got shown the plot - I was told it’d become a dumping ground.
Seeing lots of other plots have DIY style pallet composting bays I did want to replicate this, but found it a bit frustrating to try and find enough of the right type.
In the end I bought a cheapish wooden set online, which looked ok.
On reflection I wish I’d spent a little bit more - I bought a better one for the garden at home which is much better quality.
It’s not the prettiest setup, and it’s a bit wonky as the ground was a bit uneven and the design asked for the posts to be sunk into the ground which made alignment tricky.
It’s a start at least…
I put some of the best looking compost from the existing heap to get it going.
One item checked off the list.
