Mantis tumbler compost ready to harvest
It should have been a difficult year for composting with the virus and the Leicester lockdown, but the wee beasties just keep working. It is said that Compost just Happens, and it has.
The Mantis is our largest tumbler on the Compost Demonstration site and was total neglected for several weeks and then only turned occasionally but it has produced a batch of compost ready for collection and use as a mulch.
This is our easiest bin to empty just put a barrow underneath and tip the compost into it.
We can still open by appointment for up to 5 people to offer advice or so that you can see this and the 20+ other bins in use.
