Composting

Sunday, July 24, 2022

I begin carting Robert's hay. It is very light, having dried out for a day or two before being brought here, and a day or two here. There is not the rotting moisture content of fresh grass clippings. "Wetter is Better"

I have spread four barrow-loads or sawdust to make a foundation for new bins. This too should cut down weeds.

I find that I can toss armfulls of dried hay disagonally to the corner bin.

Today's forecast reads "Sunny this morning then a mix of sun and cloud with showers and a few thundershowers beginning this afternoon. Amount 15 mm in thundershowers." And I hope that 15mm will tamp down the dried hay.

I cover all nine? Bins with hay-to-be-wetted.

There are, as usual, drippings, this time of grass clippings, which means that I have begun the next compost bin.

Thought: In theory I could elevate each bin six inches above the soil/ground level, which would give me an extra 6x36x36 or 0.167 cubic yards of compost when the bin is removed.

Then I have three bins of campfire fuel to remove.
