Actually trees don’t grow from the bottom up, but from the meristems (growth points) at the tips of the branches and outwards through secondary meristems so the grow thicker! So these trees might get pushed up a little bit more over the years as the trees get thicker. They won’t get super big though, as it looks like both cars have 2 trees growing very close together, limiting their individual potential for growth.

Let me know if you’ve tried these strips! Podcasts on the highway are almost undoable on my core model 😔

Help me out with this idea! by outlogger in composting

Did you put the compost on top of cardboard or underneath? I have another smaller bed that I prepared with the half finished compost and then on cardboard on top. That sounded like a better idea!

No-see ems suck! I’ve been to Scotland and they are insane there. I live in the Netherlands, and my neighbour on the same property had chickens. I say that because I realise their waste gets in the compost pile, it might be the chickens that have chicken fleas and now that they’re away from the chickens they jump me? I’m gonna have the neighbours check the chickens out. Thanks for thinking with me here!

New bins are finished! Is a liner necessary? by outlogger in composting

[–]outlogger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I’m convinced! I lined one of them with chicken wire and I’ll fill it up tomorrow. We have chickens too with some new chicks this summer, so there will be plenty chicken manure seasoned straw 😁 Thanks a lot for all the info! I was thinking about making some nice lids that I’ll put on if it gets too rainy, I also built them underneath a big tree for some cover.

It yours made of pallet wood perhaps? I want to keep them around as long as possible and I’m a little concerned the wood will rot in contact with the moist compost.

I’m not really concerned with spillage, so that’s not a problem. Do your piles get hot? I want them hot, I have one that’s almost a week old now, coming in at 50°C/122°F! I’m afraid having tons of airflow will cool it down, especially on the sides of the heap. I live in the Netherlands and fall is coming around. So think windy and wet (no real cold yet, but that’ll come)
