Worked compost bin and made four seed trays

This morning I worked on the compost heap in my backyard. This is a test bed for much larger ones we hope to have at the allotments.






I found out three things:
1) I must rework more often, say once a month, as the spuds were growing!
2) Use a hand axe to smash and/or chop up large veg
3) Worms love matted paper - but I'm better to put it in scrunched up.

I re-instated the temp sensor and got these results.


In the afternoon I briefly cycled to the allotment and created four seed trays: perpetual spinach, turnips, wild rocket (wasabi) and greyhound cabbage.



We had some rain overnight so things looking healthy. But I filled upwater barrel anyway.
