Wednesday continued in the same set pattern. An occasional light shower, some sunny spells and dark clouds hinting at a heavy downpour that once again never materialised.
One of the most important jobs on the plot that I find I can easily overlook is turning my compost heap. I decided that today was to be the day and set about moving the compost from one bay to the next. The most difficult job was making sure that all the toads, frantically trying to get out of harms way once the heap was disturbed came to no harm. The material was really dry making the task of moving it from one bay to the next quite easy. I think a good watering will be necessary to get some composting action going.

The remains of the empty bay will be added to the plot as necessary to keep up the soil fertility. Any new composting material will be added to the new pile ensuring a good mix of materials.

Isn’t it amazing how long old interwoven fencing panels last before they eventually break down. These panels have been giving me years of service on the plot long after their use as fencing panels ended.
Our sowing and harvesting web pages have been upgraded and I hope that they will now load much quicker than before. Our web page for our June 2011 harvest can be found by clicking here.
