In this video I'll be making more compost bays and filling them. I build quick compost bays from palettes and store the green clippings for ericaceous compost and make another bay for normal compost.

I've added a temporary fence at the back of the allotment, to give a little privacy and deter casual visitors. I also start a temporary compost heap, in the bottom of the allotment from the clippings that tree surgeons and arborists drop off in the chippings bay.
