Harvesting compost
There is still time to harvest your compost and add it as a mutch to the garden. I also add some to my winter hanging baskets and due to various reasons still have a number to put make up. Activity in the cold compost bins will be slowing down now as it gets cooler and it is a good time to harvest any compost that is ready in the bins so as to make room for the material to be added over the winter.
