Old Bag Sees Light of Day

Today I am following up my  3rd December post when I added a "compostable" bag to the compost bin.  It is now four months on (rather than three) so it is time to assess the breakdown.  Taking the trusty trowel in hand I started my forensic excavation. Here is what I found:

Now compare that with the pristine beginning:

To be honest I am not really impressed with compostability. I don't think these residents were very impressed either!

Vertical Challenge

Another visit to the School Garden for this "vertical garden".  It consists of a supported pallet with various second use plastic tubs wired to it.  It was going to be "vertical veg" but it is a lot less challenging to find drought forgiving plants for the summer holiday if you don't restrict it to edible veg.

As an exercise in using a small space to grow in using recycled materials it has been a lot of fun.  I think it might evolve a bit over the coming year with the lessons learned. It literally is lifting higher and higher!
