    20 Year Old Compost

    Hi All
    Hope you all are ok and busy with your plots, gardens etc...anyway to cut a long story short, some of you might remember me taking over a neighbours garden..?..well its just working out perfectly and the other day he said is this any good to you..?..went over to the other side of the garden and under some lino and plastic was this compost...been there for more than 20 years, its just like the stuff you buy even better...see pic..sowed toms in it..fantastic and going to fill the raised bed I made. There must be over a ton of it...I needed to share this with you lot.

    Cheers
    braders...

        Tell him to check his attic. I'll bet "that old thing" he stuck up there is an Old Master...

          I reckon mrbadexample snr has got compost older than that. He's got three bins, but never uses it as he doesn't like disturbing the slow worms.

                  That's what my neighbour gave to me also. Then I found out it was absolutely full of cat poo, stones, socks, assorted rubbish, bricks, nails, glass and some other stuff that it's probably better to forget.
                  I did use some of it, but it was just too much hard work after a while.

                  Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.

                    I've gotten some amazing stuff from my compost fairy. Their compost mountain has been rotting down for about 10 years and is the most unbelievable stuff. There really is no going back to that woodchip (a.k.a compost) from B&Q. And the best part? They've said we can have it all! We'd gotten 3 full builders rubble sacks (the huge square dumpy bags about 1m3) and today I went back and got about 1.5/2 more dumpy sacks full. I took them some tom plants to say thanks and raked up the leaves in their garden but somehow I feel as though I've short changed them. Next time I go I shall pick a sunny day and put all the large branches on top of their compost heap through the woodchipper. I just feel as though I owe them big time! lol!
