Turning the heap

With the weather on Saturday being a bit suspect, I undertook a hard but very satisfactory job, turning one of the compost heaps. The top 12" has already been turned, leaving the already composted stuff underneath. As you can see it was quite compact but well rotted.

This picture shows the job complete with a compost bin nearly ready to use. Some courgettes will be planted on this heap in May and in late autumn it will be used to top up beds or as a mulch.
