Green manures were growing well into the first week of December. 10 nights of freezing temperatures (-4°C to -9°C) have knocked them back. Photographed after today’s thaw.

@spenbroc No till growers has a good explainer of the different types of compost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpZChqz9iiI They have a lot of good information.
How to make it does depend what you want your compost to do and what you’re able to do within your own set up. We all have different constraints but there’s a method to fit anyone.

I harvested half of my Yacon plants before the worst of the hard frosts hit this week. I split a couple of plants and replanted and mulched them with wood chip. I hope they survive. I’ve also stored a dozen growing tips for potting on in spring. Guessing I have about 25 kg of tubers. #Allotment #Gardening #Yacon

CW: UK NURSES STRIKE
@nhsactivistrn I support you 100% Siobhan. “We care for the nation but who cares for the carers? “ Who indeed?
I’ve donated so one striking nurse can be reimbursed £50 through the RCN Strike Benefit for the industrial action taking place on 15th December. If we want to keep the NHS going we have to help you fight for it. Thank you and your colleagues for all you do.

@harshad That is so right. We owe everything we have to the life in our soils that sustains us.
Even though I know my soil is alive with worms there’s always a bit of relief to see them whenever I uncover any soil. They are a joy. #SoilHealth #Soil #Vermicast #Vermiculture

CW: Feeding the worms
@suevb @nicole2g Mine are in the shed too with a little extra cardboard wrapped around the outside of their bin to keep them a bit warmer while still well ventilated. -4°C last night. I can’t check them until tomorrow. 🪱 #worms #vermiculture #vermicast #vermicompost

I love making compost on my allotment. This will be good to go next year. I’ll keep filling the leaf bin for leaf mould for the year after. I’ve also got a pile of steadily increasing bokashi compost and a worm bin in the shed producing vermicast.

@nicole2g @compost Thanks, that’s good to know about the #wormcasting. I am a novice when it comes to worms but they have been a wonderful addition this autumn.

@nicole2g @compost My two mini #JohnsonSu #Bioreactors of #Compost built and filled in August. The downpipes (removed after 24 hrs) create ventilating air holes in the compost pile.
After initially heating up between 55-65°C for several days, to kill weed seeds and pathogens, worms were added in September as soon as the pile temperature fell below 25°C.
They are regularly watered to maintain the moisture level. They will take 12 months to produce a fungal, biologically rich compost. 🤞
