We have a good amount of fairly raw compost/manure in the garden now. With some time, this will break down, I hope, before much of our planting. With cold weather continuing...it might before mid-August when we plant! Errr.
Anyway, I still hope to get two large truck loads of supremely wonderful compost. But I am thinking we should not spread it out over the garden like the silt or manure.
How about we have a load dumped to the east and one to the west of the garden, near the chicken coup bldg.? This way we can use this good stuff a bit more effectively, by putting on areas of actual plant growing vs. walk ways or the like.
We can make this last a lot longer.
To contain this compost, perhaps we could use straw bales stacked 2-high like the nearby eco-blocks. Once the straw starts to rot, we replace it with new, and use the old for topping off composting.
Food for thought.
