    Turn the compost by moving it into the second Bay. Top then becomes bottom and all is turned. A 3 Bay system is best. 1 for turning, 1 for filling, 1 left to mature. Each will swap places when you turn into the empty Bay.

    Try to leave your compost alone to allow it to heat up that way it will decompose much faster, you can pick up a compost thermometer for a few quid on amazon so you can get an idea on what's happening and when you see it cooling down then turn it, it can take upto 12 months to get your first compost heap ready which is why you want 2-3 bays so ones ready ones breaking down and the 3rd is more if a storage ready to start when yhe first is being used up, hope this help and happy new year🎉 also well worth investing in a manure/pitch fork, they have thinner prongs so make it much easier to break up and pass through the compost for turning.

    My dad used to be a ex head gardener and said the next step for your compost is to add another bay and scoop top layer off down to what looks like ready compost if there is and then transfer that top layer to the new compost bay(to rot down bay) and then your have a ready compost bay where you can access the compost you want to use.heres a thought make signs on the bays.ready compost .decomposing compost etc

    Happy New Year from Holland ! Some tips for composting that I used on my allotment; Mix the horse manure through your compost, it creates heat and volume and speeds up de decomposing of the manure and the clippins. The compostworms love it and your compost will be ready to use in two months. Keep turning it, oxygen is essential for the process. No potatoes, skins and (potato and tomato) leaves, risk of blight if temperature is not hot enough. Keep up your good work, love the videos!

    • @Wallie-l6x
      @Wallie-l6x 2 дня назад +2

      you can put manure on the cardboard as well to keep it down, feed the soil and prevent the weeds from growing.

      Blight only survives on living plants so dies as it composts down.

    Lovely vlog Emma! The only thing I managed to grow for Christmas dinner was some huge brassicas, but they’d been so nibbled by caterpillars I could only eat the very middle 😂 The flavour was absolutely fantastic however, I think it’s because I fed them a lot of nettle and comfrey tea!

    Hi Emma, about the compost, it's not a growing area either a dying area. It's a living area so I believe that you need to leave the compost to live! Take care when you chopped down the brown stuffs as you cut the living and decomposers, make the compost making slower.😅😉

    You use your own compost for your beds, or you can use it in outside pots, which you can also mix to a 50/50 mix of your compost and shop bought compost for pots. FYI, your own compost can contain a lot of weeds too,; and potatoes 😂...you're doing a great job Emma. Happy new year to you and your family x😊

    • @SJLamb-te3dt
      @SJLamb-te3dt 2 дня назад

      My advice would be to ask your friends to get involved and perhaps whatever church you go to as well get a petition going so that when you meet with the parish council you have a list of names already behind you to show that this is something that many people in the community want. Some kind of plan on how it would be run and perhaps who would be responsible for what. Perhaps also a few plots set aside for school use if a school near by would like to participate. The more community interest and the more participants you have lined up behind you the better luck you will have. Good luck!

    The weather forecast predicts frost tomorrow evening. Your broad beans are quite big already and can be damaged by frost. Happened to me a few years back when I planted them mid autumn and they grew up in mild weather.They all went black and died. Now I try to protect them from frost with fleece and they survive the frosty weather

    I left my compost four 4yrs because I couldn't get into it. My son came up and hoisted the hideous dalek compost bin. Lovely stuff in there! Just leave your compost and add stuff to it. I only turned it once. Loads of worms. It takes at least a year...or more in my case! Enjoy! Up to you though.

    Happy New Year, Emma. Good to see you keepiing on top of the composting. Yep, keep forking it over, that'll speed things up by introduce air into the pile and stop it from becoming compacted. Worms in the pile is a fantastic sign. It means you have good healthy compost in the making. I would turn it into the other bay and mix it with leaves at this stage. the worms will continue to breed and speed the whole process up. Don't add any more water, its wet enough. You only want it to be damp, not wet. You're well on the way to making good compost. Well done you.

    Your compost looks very fibrous & twiggy . Sticks & twigs can take a very very long time to break down . I have a off ground tumbler compost bin using food waste , brown paper & green garden clippings . I make sure that everything is cut up very small and it's kept fairly moist & turned at least once a week . When I look in side its full of red garden worms who make their own way inside .. Also, you have to be patient as it takes about 1 full year to make rich crumbling beautiful compost , but when you do, it's so exciting & free !

    Until you stop turning your compost every few days you will never get decent compost it never has a chance to heat up . If you don’t want Potatoes growing in your compost I suggest you stop putting potatoes in there , chopping them up as you do will mean you will have lots of Potatoes growing where ever you use your compost . Looks like lots of sticks in there that will take months to rot down. Once that bay is full then it needs turning into the next bay probably this time next year if lucky .
