Steaming Heaps of Compost

Wednesday 10/04/13

Liz, Katie & Dwayne

Corr we had a delivery today of compost, about 18 tonnes apparently
if you want to know what that looks like, it looks like this

Liz put here car here for scale, she doesnt look impressed
(We got used to the smell)


Our plan was to spread the compost over the top of the plots and then turn it in to improve the condition of the 'well rested' soil, to hopefully break down some of the clay qualities.

Here is Liz attacking a pile with what looks like a makeshift gasmask

And here is Katie spreading it out in the rain, which didn't make it any easier


This is towards the end of the evenings actives the compost was so hot that it was still steaming as we spread it out over the ground!
