  1. My compost is full of slugs.

    Have no idea what to do about them.

    I wish I had chicken. They are the best debuggers ever.

  2. Finished digging the compost over today. Got another big tub of sifted compost for the rest of the garden that is still to be planted (its just getting warm enough for those plants).

    Also under and next to the compost pile, two weird concrete Tetris pieces, a big pile of fly ash bricks and this piece of rather nice and hardly rusty 100mm steel box section 🤩

    And a lot of hand picking pieces of rope, foil, wire, a swing arm from some vehicle, rubber hoses/belts and all kinds of uncompostable junk someone had left in there.

  7. Notes and links from Thur 21 May: notes.peteashton.com/2026/05/2

    Big day today. Spent the afternoon at the allotment with Fi and Lucy moving the #compost hexagon and filling it up. We’ve been putting this off for a few weeks, never finding the right time when my fatigue wasn’t an issue, and today was the last opportunity before summer finally kicks in tomorrow. So I girded my loins, paced myself and we did it.

    Did I make a mistake? Probably. I feel OK right now but post-exertion fatigue can kick in up to 36 hours later so tomorrow will be the tell. But was it worth it? Yeah. I got outside, I did some fixes to the hexagon (which was only a prototype when I built it nearly three years ago), and I got to do #composting stuff, which is my happy place. Also I bumped into chum Kerry and her kid who I hadn’t seen properly in ages, so that was a delight.

  13. I have absolutely loved this linen jacket and worn it until if I hold it up to a light I can see right through it! However it had very petty pocket lining which looks just right for a #DollsHouse project. I will also keep the buttons and any extras that I can.
    Being linen the fabric I cannot reuse will compost!

  18. Took the day off yesterday to observe our 41st anniversary. (Sue, you're still the one!

    Today I finished moving last year's compost up to be mulch between the two rows of tomato plants. Now the rest will get mulched if and when material becomes available over the next few weeks. While I did that, BeetBear tended to his beloved beet root crop, which looks pretty good so far!

  23. Last month I tried something new & prepped my garden beds with wood shavings. The leaf mulch/unfinished compost mix underneath is looking so perfect today! #gardening #compost

  27. We’ve implemented new measures to protect our compost bins from the black bear. Our new electric fence is measuring 8.9kV. Per the recommendation, we’ve baited it with peanut butter. That should tickle when he comes back!

  32. Have begun the process of moving the compost up to be the mulch for the tomato plants. It's going on about 3 inches thick between the rows and picture shows what 2 cart loads looks like. We're going to need a lot more cart loads. Last-year's compost will maybe do about ¾ of the area between the rows and the rest will come from a mixture of donated grass clippings and shredded leaves as the season progresses.
