I spent a happy couple of hours today spreading some good home-made organic muck on the vegetable beds.
Said compost began its career as grass clippings, sawdust, vegetable peelings, paper, fruit skins, fallen leaves, dead flowers, chicken poo, and weeds. None of which was black. But after a couple of years it was uniformly black. Why?
