My summer project: fix the compost!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since I was last regularly blogging, we’ve bought a mökki (Australian vernacular ‘shack’, direct translation ‘cottage’, also ‘holiday home’ in some parts of the world.) We inherited a few things including a compost bin that has taken on a life of it’s own. I’m pretty sure that is either a raspberry cane or possibly even a blackcurrant bush poking out of the bottom bin.
Anyway, I have long wished for a compost bin. I am a little fanatical about recycling the bio-waste these days so I’m super excited about the possibilities this offers. However, I suspect that due to severe starvation over the past 6-12 months, I will need to start afresh.
Now what will I use the compost for? That’s easy, a parallel project will be to start some garden beds. There’ll be more on that later 😉
So, are you lucky enough to have a compost bin? What do you use the compost for? Any handy hints you can throw my way? All tips gratefully accepted 🙂
