Compost - Recycling

Busy recycling -yes i have taken to riding a bicycle again. Thankfully there is no photographic proof of this.

In the garden i have a couple of big blue plastic barrels which i use for re-cycling about everything i can. Before using them, i ground off the top and drilled lots of air holes with a 50mm

hole cutter all the way round and in the bottom. All in all, about half an hours effort.

All the compostable kitchen stuff is put in the buckets, along with newspapers, garden rubbish, even the dusty leaf mould stuff thats picked up by the blower thingy whilst at clients.

I add a bit of chicken manure to the barrels and a couple of buckets of the re-cycled compost from the local compost shredder.

The finished product is an earthy smelling very dark looking humus which i use as a mulch and a great soil conditioner.
