Oh love
sorry to hear about mum in law... just because its expected doesn't make it easier, especially when its quicker than you expected.
Your garden posts are always lovely to see. We put our bins out every week too.. even though our rubbish one is hardly every more than 1/2 full these days. We are actively reducing our rubbish. Used to overflow every week.. so it has at least 1/2ed sometimes there is only one bag. We put it out just in case though.
Now we have the HUGE compost bins - i mean new garden beds going in, we are filling them up with all the green and brown we can. Reducing the load in the bin and recycling.
im desperate to get chickens in our new area... but my husband is still convinced he wants bees... i mean i LOVE bees in that they are essential to the enviroment... but... i like chickens too...
this is where we are with ours. I will post a post soon with the updates for the week. Its still looking so bare... but we are getting there. I can't wait to strip out the back slope.... picture it covered in melons and straw... :-)
stay strong
Sarah
Haha! Your compost bins are the best! We stopped using our green bin years ago now. Between chickens and the garden, nothing organic leaves the property, unless it's got root knot in it and then it's just the roots.
Picturing that back slope right now! The watermelons are looking particularly good. 😁
Yes... we are saving a bucket load on soil by "making our own" my husband tends his compost everyday with more care than i could have imagined.. lol
its amazing how full they are getting! not sure if we will plant all of them come september, as we want to get out hand in and make sure the soil is good first. but we might do. Think we might do a test bed late winter with some peas to do a spot of nitrogen fixing or something. test the soil... then plant september.
Can't WAIT to do the back slope. also want to do a "gourde tunnel" in the middle... not sure how it will work.. but very keen...
