Up against our newly erected concrete garage which gets no sun as its north facing we have made a compost construction of some timbers which made the roof of our old brick garage.(which has been demolished) This "Heath Robinson" construction is 18"(1'6") deep by 18'(18ft) and nobody will see it but our family.
Now I relise that I have built this thing in haste and maybe dropped a clanger as we were hoping to use this to put garden clippings such as cabbage leaves, carrot tops, spent bean stalks etc..All the usual garden waste AND leaves from our many trees.
We have been told that tree leaves must be seperate from normal garden refuse and that as the heap gets no sun it will take years before they rot down.
Give me some good news please.
