Fallen leaves

Can you compost in winter? Of course you can! Whether you’ve got a hot heap, a cold compost bin, a wormery, or just some space for trench composting, then with a little bit of preparation you can continue composting through the winter. And if you won’t be able to see the garden under the snow, then think about Bokashi.

And don’t forget that it’s time to make leaf mould!

AKG listener Mark has been conducting some experiments in his garden this year – find out whether tansy protected his brassicas from whitefly, if nettle concentrate puts cabbage white butterflies off, if pennyroyal deters ants and if you can use marigolds to control weeds.

You’ve only got a couple more days to enter my permaculture give-away, so send those entries in!
