OK, this is really for testing my blog feed… However!

Today, amongst the rain, hail and sleet I’ve had to remove my compost heap. A big brown rat has managed to get in and live in it. Despite Rat poison this pest continues to rumage around.

So today I removed eveything, remounted the bin on solid concrete, fixed down the sides with bricks and put back in all the rotting compost. It’s a beautiful sweet smell; not sickly; so it’s working! The friable soil at the bottom is great. I’ve been using it in seed trays but I’m not sure if it has all the nutrients needed.

So I’ll get some John Innes and start seeding in earnest this weekend. After all It’s April soon and stuff should start going in!

As they say in GQT… goodbye and good gardening.
