Re-Furbished Compost Bins

Re-Furbished Compost Bins
02/12/2007

Between dodging showers I've finally managed to re-furbish the compost bins on plot 5. The old shed roof from home lives on, re-incarnated as a compost heap.

The carpets in front are because the ground is so slippy and muddy I fell over a couple of times.

I've got a couple of old palettes that will act as the front to bins.

It's lovely to see the way this pair have improved their plot, they're pretty good growers as well.

They'd just finished putting the glass in their greenhouse when I snapped this.  They do seem to be enjoying themselves.

The council leaf men have been really kind to us this year, three big loads of leaves to transform into leafmould.

Now the question is, can I grab a load before they're all gone?
