Compost bays

Tom Pinches of Devonhabitatservices and I made this set of three oak and larch compost bays. The situation is an old quarry, so the ground was excessively hard to dig holes for the posts. The larch boards are captured by oak battens between the sets of posts and so are easily replaceable. Great to use local timber sourced from Hembury woods and Zav’s sawmill near Totnes. The bays are wide enough for a digger to drive the compost in and out.
