My new composter was delivered today. In previous years I have stopped putting waste into the original composter in October (except for leaves which I continue to add), then turn the compost once a month so that it's ready for use in May.
I continued to put any suitable waste into a trench, covered with a sheet of plastic, until May when I empty the composter and transfer the contents of the trench into the composter.In addition to assisting the composting process, the plastic stops pieces of cardboard and paper from blowing around.
However, this year the foxes have chewed through the plastic and pulled off the wire netting which I thought would keep them off, so I decided to buy another composter.
