And here are some of those apples I mentioned earlier #photography #allotment #nature
This is my composting set up over winter. We are fortunate our winters are mild. The piles are unlikely to freeze.
The two palleted compost bays have been freshly turned.
Four compost Daleks contain maturing compost.
Another compost dalek recieves the weekly veg peelings and garden weeds with sawdust added over the top.
After taking the photos all the compost was covered or lids put back on to keep the rain off. #Compost #Composting #NoDig #Mulch #Gardening #Allotment #Solarpunk

Anyone on #gardening Fedi have UK recommendations for some sort of not-too-big/expensive mulcher/shredder that is good for sticks and leaves kinda work, hedge-trimmer trimmings, etc... ideally to make this sort of material good for composting?
We have one of those crusher-style ones but it is only really good on sticks and small branches, it just chokes on leafy material.
I realise "use a lawnmower" may also be an option (I do not currently have a lawnmower.)
Good Morning from the #allotment. #BloomScrolling #sunflower#GoodMorning
