Compost Bins!

We have built three enormous compost bins since we have been here. Over time  they have been filled with all sorts of garden rubbish , cuttings ,old hay and a bit of horse poo! Last weekend we decided to clean them out in readiness for the next lot of Walnut Tree leaves (groan!!!!) The tree is rapidly going yellow, the White Cockatoos are sitting at the top eating the Walnuts and the first sprinkling of leaves are on the ground.
We emptied the two side bins and condensed it all into the one in the middle
Lilli supervised as usual
Geoff looking like he is doing some weird version of  The Macarena!!
It was hard work.............!!!
But we collected a huge amount of enormous earthworms that we transferred into the garden
As well as barrows of beautiful rich compost!
Empty and ready for this years Fall!
