December 22nd

Made the most of the mild weather and went to the plot on my bike this morning.
Emptied out the last of my well rotted manure from pallet bin on bottom allotment and barrowed it up to top allotment to put on bed where main crop potatoes were.

Just about the right amount to cover the bed with a decent layer - let the worms do their stuff over the winter!

Transferred all the compost from second pallet bin into the now empty manure bin - first time I've done it in 3 years! Put the lovely compost at the bottom on some of the raised beds. I then covered the remaining compost in the bin with some blue plastic to try and keep some heat in. Might empty in less than 3 years time!
