I was so excited when we moved to our new house two years ago. The house was roomier, the garden was bigger, and it had features that fit our lifestyle very well. Add in the fact that our new council gave every household its own composter, and I was happy. Yes, I had wanted a compost bin for some time. I wanted to be able to compost those veggie ...  Read the complete review

Get down on your knees. Shove your hand in your soil. Pick up a handful and let it run through your fingers. Does it run freely? Then it lacks dung. Does it stick in your hand in a claggy lump? Then it lacks dung. Already, you can see where this op is going. The average garden is seriously ...  Read the complete review

I am going to talk dirty - well, compost anyway. So you like dirty talk, eh! Here's some real mucky stuff, compost. I make my own. Let me tell you about it and why I do it.

You can buy composters in garden stores but you don't need to have anything fancy. I made mine from an old wooden crate. The only alteration it needed was the front panel altered so that it slides up and down. This is a really easy way to get free compost. You can put vegetable peelings, grass clipings, tealeaves, potatoe peelings and ...  Read the complete review
