23.01.2022 Your compost pile just isn't working, what now? The Doctor says: It could be one of several things: 1. Not enough nitrogen. Make sure you have enough nitrogen rich sources like manure, grass clippings or food scraps. 2. Not enough oxygen. Mix up the pile so it can breathe.... 3. Not enough moisture. Mix up the pile and water it with the hose so that there is some moisture in the pile. A completely dry pile will not compost. 4. Cold weather. Wait for spring or compost in a bin or cover the pile.

22.01.2022 How do you get more heat into your compost? The Doctor can help! For the pile to heat up you need to cover and leave for awhile. If you turn your compost weekly and add layers of straw, shredded paper and the occasional cow or sheep manure then it should work fine.

20.01.2022 Another handy tip from the Compost Doctor: If you are composting in piles make sure your pile is at least 1 meter wide and 1 meter high. If using a bin the pile does not need to be so large. Check out our website for more!

17.01.2022 What can go in the compost? The Doctor says: You can simply put in what you want with the exception of dairy products and meat. I like to put in a handful of blood and bone or dry cow or sheep manure each time I turn my compost as I find this fastens the composting process and gives me a very good product to use in the garden
