Easiest Ever Compost

Compost is made in two ways here at Bealtaine Cottage.

The first is what most people would imagine is the only way…certainly the one favoured in all the gardening books…where everything is kept neat and stacked and covered and turned and generally fiddled about with!

Yes, I have one of those heaps on the go and yes it works great…if one is in a hurry for the finished product; rich, crumbly, dark and nutritious food for plants!

However, I have just begun to uncover my lazy compost…where I have done zilch in terms of work, throwing all the garden wastes into an ever-expanding mound of general untidiness!

Pushing back the top layer of waste and flinging it back into the mound on the far-side, I uncovered this superb compost yesterday!

Vegetable beds are being topped up as wheel-barrow after wheel-barrow is pushed around the gardens.

Looking at the amount of seedlings and young plants here in the tunnel this morning, the copious amounts of compost being uncovered will be much needed!

Total effort:minimal!

Result: brilliant!

Pick a corner and get stacking!

Today’s video…just listen!
