    Every now and them it is time to give that ole compost a bit of a turn. I had picked-up some fresh stall mest out in the countryside, so I wanted to make a hole in the compost in the darlek that Eileen gave me donkey’s ears ago. So put a shovel-full of it into the middle of the still uncomposted material in the hope that it would accelerate and stay active throughout the winter.

    I can tell you we were shocked when the first fork moved the upper layer aside:

    A closer look. That mass of worms were quick to wriggle back down under the surface. That means that there were more than we can see on the foto up above.

    This compost id destined for the veggie plots and greenhouse. We will add this to the other bags full behind the garden house. Remember those?
