What’s in my Compost Bin this week?

Posted on 02. May, 2009 by Tracey in My Veg Plot

Compost Watch is my little project for 2009. My aim is to make my own compost from my garden and kitchen waste. Every few weeks I will be adding more contents to the Compost Bin and updating the photos and content chart below.

Contents as at 25th April 2009

Subtotal of Compost Contents after 14 Weeks are:

• 12.5 x Boxes/Crock of Vegetable Peelings,
• 16 x Newspapers,
• 22 x Toilet Rolls,
