       The IPCC report is grim. While we all know that phasing out fossil fuels is paramount, in my small sphere I  take heart that people I  know, who suddenly took up gardening during the first lockdown, by working with the earth and the weather, have become a lot more aware of the effects of climate change. Although lots of people are too afraid to voice their concern, I believe a quiet revolution is taking place. I  hope this translates to better choices at elections. #IPPC

       Hot bin update. It's  been  a month since I started this, and at times frustratingly slow. Despite feeding the bin 12 kg kitchen waste mixed with paper and bulking agent, the temperature hovered around 25C. I did manage to get some grass clippings last week and added a small amount to the bin, this pushed the temperature up to 32C. Wary of adding too much grass at once, yesterday I added some garden waste and weeds that I ran the mower over. And we have lift off! Cont/

       2. Prior to this, I ran off the leachate. The photo shows what came out. I'm not particularly squeamish,  but this did make me baulk. I think a regular household would call a halt to the experiment seeing this. However, I am committed to the council for the supply of the bin, and I  want free quick compost,  so the experiment continues. In conclusion, you need a lot of waste to get to temperature.  The manufacturer says 80litre. Other wise, you just have a regular compost bin.#hotbin
