A compost dalek nearly full of the fresher garden and kitchen waste. Handfuls of sawdust are applied with each layer of kitchen scraps every week. When this bin is full it will be turned into a different bin to continue to break down. Ground eggshells, basalt, biochar and other amendments are occasionally added to this bin in small quantities.

Three different sized plastic bins or compost daleks each contain maturing compost. The lids are off to show the compost inside. An elongated oval bin contains the best, finest compost which has been sieved with a trommel. These three containers of compost will mature over winter and will be the base of the potting mix next spring.

Two compost bays are made from five pallets. Two pallets provide the back wall and three pallets at right angles make the left side, right side and centre divide of the two bays. Two piles of compost are dark brown. The left hand pile has three black downpipes down the centre line to allow air flow into the centre of the pile. The right side pile is older compost and is noticeably more broken down.
