November leaves

 So a very wet November has passed by. Interestingly the leaves seem to have stayed on the trees longer this Autumn, I noticed this driving across Derbyshire and the colours were fantastic but eventually we get a strong enough wind and down they come. Part of our looking after the churchyard is clearing the paths and we gather up quite a number these are bagged into jute sacks and piled in our compost area, this is the second year we have done this and by this Autumn the four foot high pile had been reduced to a heap about a foot high of lovely compost all courtesy of the worms living in there so hopefully by this time next year we will have a nice pile of our own compost to use for planting up, I just need to remember to turn it occasionally.
