We’re well on with our composting project (funded by a City of Edinburgh Council Waste Action Grant).  The compost bins are complete and nearly full already.  There are signs that the composting is getting going but we’ve added worms to speed things up.  The main screens are now in place – all level with right angles and straight lines thanks to Sandy.  Next stage is the bark path and some climbing plants so the screen blends in with the rest of the park.

It was a terrific Wednesday morning, despite some early frost, and we had an excellent turnout of members plus a team of three from Quintiles on an away day.  We got loads done, collecting over 20 wheelbarrows of leaves and making good progress on the screens for the compost bins.  Janet produced coffee and cakes at 11 – as you can see, Janet didn’t manage to bring a red carpet for our visitors.  All in all, we had a great morning, capped by Louisa, Steven and Erica adding the worms to the compost bins!
