Me and The Compost Heap
Me and the Compost Heap It's that time again! Spring! And the compost that has sat all winter (in my case for the last two winters is ready to come out and fertilize a new strawberry bed I am laying out. Do I have one of the fancy compost bins, with slats that come out so you can take the cured "black gold" directly from the bottom? Oh no! I have one of the cheapy ones we bought from the city, which is a piece of plastic with holes for ventillation and nuts to fasten the ends together. Today, I went out to open up the bin to get at the compost. The nuts were corroded shut. No amount of twisting had holding with a wrench would pry it loose. Ultimately I gave up, and went in. Later with renewed energy, I tackled the task again. This time, I came with a pair of pruning shears and a knife. Yes, I had decided to I cut my way in. The plastic is getting brittle anyway and we had decided to put it to other use, so no big deal. The top one came loose right away. The second one was more of a challenge, as I cut my way to the nut to free it. Finally, I had all of them. I peeled away the plastic to reveal my prize! The compost!! I spread what I had energy to spread in my new strawberry bed! That compost is beautiful, black and rich!! Looking forward to strawberries in June-July!! Not only that, I have a new compost bin that has fancy removable slats in the bottom!! |
