I've been very bad.
For various personal reasons I have had pretty much no motivation whatsoever over the last few months to do anything at all in the garden (it's been a struggle to do anything at all honestly, apart from curl up and hide!).
I only got up enough motivation last week to finally sow some seeds
but it really seems to have helped and seeing the little green shoots coming up has finally persuaded me to get out into the garden again this morning (must say, after only an hour I'm feeling SO much better! 
)
I grew pretty much everything in tubs last year and I've got loads of flower buckets full of compost and twiggy bits of old plants!
Some of them have been on the ground and so have been free draining. I've pulled out the old plants (toms, peppers, aubergines etc.) and I'm chucking all the compost into a plastic rubbish bin as I think, with a bit of manure added, it will be fine to use for potting things on later.
Some of the tubs have been sitting in plastic trays and are sodden with rain water, some of which is pretty stagnant now. Is there anything at all I can do with this stuff? Is it okay to put in the compost bin?
