Greenhouses and Compost

First job this morning was to get the cover back on the greenhouses ready for plants to go out into them in a few weeks when its warmed up a bit more. The 6x4 wasnt as difficult to get the cover back on as I thought it would be

Also got the covers on the two smaller ones so they're all ready now to bed filled up with plug trays.

Just behind the smaller greenhouses is the worm composter. The bottom section was completely filled and not allowing the water to drain so I scooped the worms and the associated compost into one of the other sections. I may need to transfer some of the worms down to the allotment compost bins as they have really been breeding over the winter and I think they may have reached critical mass.

There are a couple of snowdrops out in the garden and the snowflakes are opening as well. Also the quince tree has flower buds appearing which is really exciting. 

The liquid (tea) that had drained from the worm bin I have decanted into squash bottles and took to the allotment. It is a really good liquid feed and completely natural for the veggies and is used diluted 1/10.

The first job on the plot last year was to sort out the compost bins and the same has happened this year. I'd covered them at the end of last season and they were literally bulging over the top of the bins when everything was cleared. Today, their volume had reduced by about half.

Six barrow loads moved from this bin

 The bin where everything has been moved that was not completely rotted down has been recovered with black plastic to help keep it warm and damp and hopefully it will rot down quite quickly.

I'm now home, absolutely exhausted and slightly achy. Its a good kind of tired though.
