I know I've mentioned my 'contraption' in a previous post but it's proving so successful I just can't talk about it enough....my missus and kids think i've gone compost mental. ('It's just mud Dad!')
I've always created loads of compost in 2 large wooden bins in the lane at the bottom of my garden but when you empty it out inevitably it has lumps in and bits of undecomposed plant material and other 'cruddy' matter. By sieving it in my new machine (which isn't really that hard to do) I get a lovely friable mix of compost out that looks lovely when added onto the beds and borders. The rough bits left over that won't go through the sieve are just thrown back onto the compost heap. Brilliant!
