Compost Bloke earns his stripes


Compost Bloke isn't as interested in all this eco stuff as me, and, to be fair, is somewhat bemused by my efforts.

However, he's fully earned his name - and composting kudos. He's not super big on gardening, mostly sticking to mowing the lawn and pruning things, but for years while I wasn't here he faithfully dug all his compost scraps into the garden.

As a result the soil is brilliant - rich, dark, free-draining. So in spite of my somewhat scrappy efforts this season, the garden has taken off.

Now that it's late February the cherry tomatoes are booming. 



And here's the payoff for Compost Bloke - he's rather partial to those little sweet tomatoes.
