Making my compost

When it comes to top Quality Compost I see a lot of allotmenteers buying in bulk bags of compost which looks to me well, one very expensive and two it kind of defeats the object of organic growing as you can't really be 100% sure of whats gone into it but everyone to their own not that I'm judging remember I'm just a green apprentice LOL.

As an apprentice I've been practicing the old fashioned way that being getting a load of good old fashioned smelly manure mixed with green waste grass cuttings, home vegetable waste, egg shells, tea bags with a few bottles of urine to accelerate the process and thats it, turn it over every now and then job done now let mother nature do the rest.

So to top it up I gathered two wheelie bins full of fresh grass cuttings off the local grass verge, and why not it's free, take care speak soon.
