COMPOST CORNER


COMPOST CORNER

*************

Hello my crafty friends J
 

I am, what you would describe as, a fair weather gardener!

I love being in the garden, getting down and dirty, but only when the sun shines ;)
 

The sun has been shining sooooooo...

I have been getting down and dirty!!!
 
 
The first job that always needs attending to in my garden is, turning the compost heap, and although there is much grunting, huffing and puffing, I actually really enjoy this process.

 
I find compost most fascinating.  The fact that you put your green garden waste/vegetable kitchen waste (I also add shredded paper waste) in, and months later it is magically turned into this wonderfully smelling soil, full of goodness.  One of nature’s little miracles ... AMAZING!!!  Gotta love the worms (I’m a big fan of worms)
 
 

And so it would seem was this cheeky little Robin, who accompanied me on my compost mission.  He didn’t seem the least bit phased by my presence. 

So now that this job is done I can begin the mahoosive task of weeding my garden. 

Now I know that proper gardeners do not like to put weeds and their seed heads into the compost heap, but I have always done this, and it has not caused me any problems, so I will continue on my path of weed destruction, regardless.
 
 
 
Must dash ... the sun is shining :)... weeds to grapple with!!!
Thank you for visiting my blog

Ta ta for now

Love Jane J x
