Look After Your Compost
Recently we’ve been getting some rain, and the compost bin was getting a
little waterlogged, which is not a good thing.
It’s fine to have damp compost, as it helps decomposition, but too wet is not
good, as it just rots. Besides this, the worms could drown, and they are a
great help in getting good compost for your garden.
My compost bin has two half lids, so I can control the amount of water
getting in. Currently, half of the bin is covered, to prevent the contents
from getting too wet.
Digging down yesterday, I discovered a large amount of worms, so this
system is obviously to their liking. It’s fine in summer too, as you can
throw in a bucket of gray or rain water to keep decomposition going, and
put the covers on to keep the moisture in.
If you take care of your compost, not to mention the worms, you’ll get a
much better result for your garden.
