Old Compost Heap

Clearing out this old heap for good or for worse. It's been there by the shed before I was born, but the past few years its become a dumping ground of various things and home to rats. The mobile phone picture is terrible, poor lighting, but it gives you an idea of the mess.

So far I've found:

• A sprouting avocado.
• Enough plastic to fill a skip.
• Two kitchen knifes.
• Dandelion and burdock can.
• Enough wood for a bonfire.
• A pane of broken glass.
• Rubble, rubble, rubble.
  
• Huge nettle roots.

Who knows what I'll find next.

The soil is going to be sieved of crap and spread around the garden especially for potatoes.

I built a new compost bin before Christmas and placed it further down the plot in a more open space to discourage rats.
