Compost all your green waste (excluding perennial weeds such as Bind weed, Mares tail and brambles) from your allotment using bin, heap or a pit. The bin can be a plastic “Dalek” that can be bought at a reasonable price from the council or made of wood using old pallets for example. A heap needs to be covered over to keep it moist using for plastic sheeting or carpet. The compost pit is a large hole the waste is thrown into and covered at intervals with earth.
An accelerant such as Garrotta, 6X or sulphate of ammonia can be added to encourage the decomposition of the waste. The core of the heap can get hot and is said to destroy weed seeds and pests. The materials need turning over occasionally to obtain a uniformly rotted compost.
The compost is ideal as a mulch for fruit bushes, lining a bean trench or a mound to grow marrows and pumpkins on.
