Yesterday played musical compost boxes - without the music.
As you know I acquired a hexagonal compost bin from next door and this has been lying around in bits waiting for a space. This is the twin to one I already have so I thought it only fitting they should sit together in aesthetic harmony. I emptied the black square manure bin next to the existing hex with a view to traipsing it to the top to sit by the three big compost bins but first needed to move another smallish black square one to the left to give it room. I had to hack away at some dead fir tree, move bags of shreddings and sieved soil and rake a level area to fit it in. That's all done and today's job is to prepare the space for hex no. 2. There's a load of stones (nothing to compete with SC's stones though), lemon balm, comfrey and overgrown privet cuttings to deal with first.
