A fine dry day to help our tidying up exercise! Another couple of beds were cleared to allow further cover crop seeding. The cover crop in the broad bean bed (due to be planted out at the end of October) has sprouted very thickly, so we might have to thin it out when planting the beans. Foliage from the spent squashes was added to the pile waiting to be composted, necessitating another turning of the system!

Three barrow loads of reasonable compost were emptied out of Bin 3 and spread onto the orchard area, then Bin 2 turned into Bin 3, and finally Bin 1 was turned into Bin 2, to make way for the enormous pile of material in the Collection Bay!

Some winter salad seeds and seedlings were planted out in the accessible beds, some of them having been taken from the vertical growing wall of the Shed, where they weren't doing very well - not enough soil perhaps? It's an experiment!
