Old Compost

Simon Yep-best thing do with it-as a soil conditioner Don't do it if you had Blight though, or at least, don't use the compost in areas where you are going to grow potatoes or tomatoes. I use all old compost, planters as a soil coditioner on my clay soil by Simon5

I give up!

-sized green tomatoes. The compost heap has grown enormously. This year, the small potatoes I've left in the ground can grow on, among the daffodils and lilies. If they come, they come. I'll fill in the space with chrysanths or something for cut flowers, like by francesmhendry
