Composting in the dark

We decided it was time to get up early and do some exercise… after much debating about going running we convinced ourselves that morning allotment sessions instead would be best as we’d get the exercise and the allotment would become lovely again!!

No-one told us it was dark at 7am!

So Lisa traipsed through the streets – looking guilty with a muddy spade and a blanket! – to pick up a sleepy Siobhan, who struggled putting on wellies – firstly on the wrong feet and then one of Lisa’s wellies! Maybe the early mornings were not such a good idea!

But we did ok, a good half an hour spent feeding the darlek (moving the unruly compost heap into the proper compost bin) and tidying up the bed that we’re preparing for garlic, onions and leeks.

We picked some of the Applemint for a healthy first drink when we got into the office… very tasty actually, everyone should try it! Back to the tea and biscuits now though… until Thursday morning.
