More composting...

Weekend, dry and warmer than average, with occaisional sunshine.

Started to fill another of the large skip bags, next to central beds. Got both boys wheel-barrowing straw/menure mix to my plot - had to be paid of course - and they soon got fed up and started playing in the stream.
Apparently a council truck is going to deliver tons of their composted waste this week; and it will reverese down the path to dum pit at end by stream, past these two new skip bags; not sure if there will be room, but we'll see.

Planted over-wintering onions and garlic



Planted 3 rows of onions and 2 of garlic in the central box that had potatoes this year. Added a couple of barrowfulls of the straw/menure compost. Covered loosely with netting, but already some fox has walked right into the centre of the box and poo'd.
