Compost heaps with and without chimney
Pepperberry bush
Hi All,
We started on the jobs list, me weeding the pepperberries and Simon mulching the standard roses.
Ann had decided overnight that she would pick up some horse manure from the stables at Brighton after her trip into Hobart to get her cooking supplies. We drew straws to see who was to accompany her to "shovel shit". I won or is that lost? As you well know I am an atrocious passenger but am trying hard to improve, so today was a bit of a test. I think I only made out loud utterances twice, so some improvement!
Funny how one can understand the meaning of a saying when faced with the reality, shovelling horse manure from the ground into a trailer with a slight breeze does require care, I know this first hand now and it does require a remedial scrub under warm running water! So dear readers take care when shovelling shit uphill.....
Our return home was punctuated by a few stops to get food for dinner including fresh raspberries. Simon assisted Ann and I in the layering of weeds, manure, paper into the compost bins. We have made one with a chimney and one without, it will be an experiment to see if the chimney does accelerate the composting or not.
Dinner finished, dishes washed, now time for a hair cut. My hair has been driving me crazy and I have persuaded Simon to cut it for me, I will share the results tomorrow.
Night All
Susan
