Making compost in a dalek, and how to access it

By letter2self on December 10, 2022



Making compost in a 330L / 75 gallon Dalek from mid-April to end July, and how to access it.

It’s dry around the edge and nice in the middle. Dry also on top from leafy additions being drier than usual, in a summer heatwave.

Usually these containers hold almost too much moisture. However this summer’s dry conditions mean we could have watered the contents a little more.

I just purchased another similar container so that we can continue to make compost in one of these

My No Dig book is available here https://geni.us/NoDig

We make a lot of compost in larger, homemade pallet and covered bays, see my compost-making playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7WDfop74y-kU7k5avXkfFOxKLTQJA2L4

And compost-making advice is on this page of my website
