  • Here we are at the allotment. I've wanted a compost tumbler fir years as they are supposed to make compost in WEEKS rather than YEARS ( or many many months)
    Anyhoo I did eventually get one from a customer but didn't get around to using it....When I finally used it....this is what I found in it....

    Hi Lee, I have the same problem with my plot being a gardener too, Ive started last year putting lots of the chippings down from the chipper, keeps things under control and means i dont have to keep doing so much weeding. Ive built two large bay compost bins from old doors these are wrapped in black dpm plastic so last years , I chip some stuff into the compost so end up with loads of compost each year now. All best Will 😊

    I would like to see the updates, if there are any. I hope you are going to empty some of the piles of compost into raised beds before building new bins. I made 2 compost bins out of an old bike shed and they are still going strong. I also make compost in old compost bags. As long as you keep them dark and warm (in the sun) they will make good compost fairly quickly. I bag up my compost and use throughout the year. Good for mulching etc. 😄

    I've been a keen compost builder over the years but I've not tried a tumbler - I've always manually turned the heaps. Looking forward to the video of your allotment transformation!

    OI!!!!!! where are the curly wurly's your were growing, I was hoping for some of those!!! lol... I have a cheap one of amazon, but its too small, ideal if you put veg in there and what have you, but I use it for grass, and it takes a year to get a bucket of semi compost
