What you see in the middle of the photo, was a huge compost pile last week - we made a bonfire using nearly 80 % of all wood from this pile and discovered a nicely big pile of compost underneath (which was subsequently delivered to two of our beds). Dealing with mess in the compost area took me about 5 hours of work; however, the area looks much better than before. With pruning the walnut and damson tree above the compost area (and removing old apricot tree and some self-seeded tree) done, this area is a complete change! Finally.
I wonder if I may use that area for potatoes as I want to use the compost to its maximum (the soil under the former compost pile is compost itself) - I will have a try.
