Compost

19th June 2016 by CathB Leave a Comment

Inheriting compost has been rather unexpected and is certainly one of the more unusual items.

On clearing the garden, we discovered two large compost bins and thought how well they would work on the allotment.

Discovering they were each half-full of compost was a mixed blessing; hard work to empty them, but the reward was the richest, rotted, fine compost.

I think it was time well-spent, digging it out and bagging it up and taking it up to the allotment.

The compost bins are now set up on site and already have a good amount of good rich compost in them, ready for the growing seasons ahead.

About me

I discovered the pleasure of playing with dirt, nurturing seedlings and growing vegetables just last year in 2015. I've always dabbled with growing courgettes, tomatoes and herbs in the garden but success has been variable.

2015 however was a successful year: I bought a greenhouse and committed to growing everything I could, much of it from seed: tomatoes, aubergines, courgettes, squash, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, beans, peas, leeks, celeriac.

Then garlic, red onions, white onions, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, potatoes.

Most of it was a success too - and what I loved the best was bringing fresh produce in from the garden to the table. To have my family - and teenagers especially - engaging with their food has inspired me immensely.

So that's it; I'm hooked on vegetable growing.

My garden isn't big, last year I devoted just a couple of square metres to growing space, so when the opportunity has arisen to take on my very own allotment... well, I am so very excited!
