where did all these leaves come from

The last time I posted I was waxing lyrical about the golden leaves on the trees and then suddenly the entire content of our Elm leaped off the tree and are now littering our driveway. Now, these leaves are a brilliant composting material if you can wait a year or two and if you can catch and contain them. Composting is close to my heart and leaf compost is some of the best you can get. But, as the saying goes, great things come to those who wait. Here at the Beggshill Bothy there are several compost bins dotted around the land, but I have one in the barn. Empty. Waiting. This is the special one, the leaf composter. Its going to get an out of the way spot, where it'll get the sun and its just for leaves. Once its full, I'll ignore it for a year or two and then hopefully I'll have lovely, brown, rich leaf compost for the garden.
Here at the Beggshill Bothy, we are not adverse to modern technology. Although it is a quiet little place we are now have a nice new road surface courtesy of the council and broadband courtesy of BT. So to celebrate, I've branched out in and recorded my first podcast. Don't tell any one.
