I've an old office shredder & feed cardboard i get from a mate through it, which makes little pieces 25x5mm. Mixes grand with grass clippings & I get through more than 200kg a year. Collecting stuff to compost is almost an obsession as I reckon I need 2½ tons a year to add a 3cm layer over all the beds.

Don’t take your rhubarb down to nothing. It does grow back yes, but it needs some leaves to grow back with! 👍🏻

You two are hysterical, thanks for making me laugh! Great rhurbarb

Hi Tony, thats a good swap with Paul, rhubarb for grass & leaves from his garden. It looks really nice stuff for your compost bin . Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

Another great one Tony. Thanks for sharing your morning visit.

I’ve lost some of my cabbage plants at home today, found them compost gnats in the pots 😮 Wish this weather would pick up a bit.

Love cherry rhubarb crumble. My cherry blossoms are in freeze jeopardy this week…ugh.

I never learned to like rhubarb, but that's a gorgeous plant! Did you grow it from seed? I wonder if it would work as a yard plant?

Wow the broadbeans look lush , nice!

I find ripping up new papers to put on the compost very restful.

Superbe vidéo bravo 😊 A bientôt

Then your council makes a profit by selling it

So disappointed its heavy rain today had so much planned to do today at the allotment [Belfast]

Rhubarb @ banana crumble is very nice.

Rhubarb crumble 😋😀👍Never eat the leaves.

Does rhubarb grow better against a sheltering wall? I think mine gets too much sun, it doesn't grow very big😢

Aye, today's youth Tony, just can't get the staff.. 😂🤣

‘WET RAIN’😂😂😂😂😂

Wet rain😂😊

How long does that lot take to compost down?

do you have a paper shredder tony as we all get to mutch mail and i shared all mine down for the compost heap may be worth the investment

Where did you get the knife from

What does the heat tape do?

I love how neat your garden is. So many are a mess and it's so much prettier when neat!

Funny enough I hide mine in the hut just in case

Our Green bin costs us £50 a year.

How have you got so much rhubarb? Mine is still short, I’ve put some good home made compost on it and some well rotted horse manure but it’s still pathetic 😥

I was always told dont put rhubarb leaves in compost but never knew why,I think they poisonous

Yes they are. But when broken down in compost it loses its poison and is ok for garden use. Just don’t eat the leaves! 😂👍🏻

Is it safe to put tender plants like tomatoes in your polytunnel or greenhouse now?

Just keep good eye on forecast. Mine are there purely to see if they’ll survive

what that compost needs is a couple of buckets of peat, luckily living in the uk your never too far from a source of peat

Well I never! Wet rain.

Sorry you’re rain wet Tony 🤣

Dont leave your hori hori in your hut people now know Tony and you didn’t even lock it. All that good equipment worries me when i see others getting broken into.

No sound
