  • Sharing the compost wealth with Rockwell Place

    Hello composters,

I just spoke to Rachael from the newly refurbished Rockwell Place garden.
She is interested in taking some of our almost done compost for their
garden. I figured she could just take what she can carry as we are not at a
loss for compost. I think their keys work in our garden, so she would be
able to come on her own and load up. Any thoughts from the compost crew?

      sounds fine to me too. There is a load in the un-assembled red wheelbarrow
bucket, they could take that first! There are also 2 black buckets near the
gate, and then all the stuff in that black plastic composter and assorted
milk crates next to it.

Just note: except for the buckets near the gate, the compost is still curing
so not 100% ready to use on beds yet. It's also not sifted so there will be
a lot of sticks and bigger chunks in it, but they could come screen it (just
throw out anything that doesn't fit through, it's not really worth keeping).
The compost would be ok around trees, shrubs, etc but I wouldn't put it
directly onto vegetable beds for another month or two yet.

        PS - do they have any interest in taking a load from the market sometime?
Like maybe into a drum, not an open bin, since they're right on the street?

          i bet they would in the future, but right now there is no drum or other
compost set up.
