Renewing the compost bins -  attaching the wooden boards and refilling the bins
Fixing the retaining boards to the new posts Refilling with removed compost and wet cardboard
After the concrete posts had been installed, new wooden boards were fixed into position to retain the compost. Those at the front of the bins are removable to enable the composted material to be removed for use around the garden area. Some of this will be sieved to provide material for potting up plants for sale on Open Days.
   
The removed compost was replaced into the bins with some torn-up wet cardboard as an additional source of organic material. Any waste garden material and organic material such as leaves and straw are shredded before being added to the bin. It may also be necessary to add water to the compost if it is dry and then cover to retain the moisture.
Job done!
