Stirring Compost

This week was very cold in the garden - about minus 3 degrees centigrade, but beautifully sunny! It was just Danielle and Miss Swallow on Wednesday, so we chatted whilst stirring the big compost bin. A whole bag of shredded paper from the office had been added along with more canteen waste.
This is the "after" picture - lots for the worms to get into!
On Thursday, the ground was just too hard for digging despite us thinking we might start levelling a spot in readiness for another greenhouse that we have been offered (someone wants to get rid of theirs and is willing to give it to us - that's too good an offer to refuse!)
Instead we finished tidying the garden by collecting sticks from everywhere.
We added them to our "hedgehog pile" by the fence (no creatures spotted yet, but we live in hope!)
