new compost bin
I got this slightly upmarket compost bin (well very upmarket compared to my usual home made compost retention solutions!) during the week. I was unreasonably excited today putting it together and filling it ( I cut the grass, pulled some weeds from gravel, cleared out the henhouse, added a bin of shreded hedge cuttings from last year, tore up collected cardboard, a bag of straw that got damp and added some cold produced compost that will be very weedy unless I give it a good heating in a new heap. So satisfying & 14k steps!
I do think I have the ratios roughly right and that the whole thing will be getting hot by tomorrow evening. It will shrink and I will add another few batches of material over next 2-3 weeks
