Just went to put some veg peelings into the wormery, and I noticed that it is sagging. On closer inspection it has split
Time to empty it out, and maybe get a new one. It is 20+ years old.
Excellent way to use up veg. peelings and garden clippings and grass cuttings. Let the worms do their thing, buckets of fine compost and pints of liquid plant food into the bargain.

I've just had to drain and jet wash my water butt, brown water, an inch of sludge in the bottom and smelly. I brought it from a neighbour a few years ago. I've always washed it out regularly and it usually contains a layer of grit off the roof, this is the first time its had sludge in it.

Me too. After doing quite well way back in May, I've been dreadful since and really feeling it. I want to get back into more running and it's so much harder carrying extra lard.

It's an absolutely gorgeous morning here. Cool but with blue sky and sun. 7 mile hilly walk done. It might burn off a few calories

I’m more aware when I’m out jogging. A few twinges in the knees and ankles that I put down to weight gain.

I've just had a look at new ones.
They have gone up in price considerably over the years

I’m just back from a walk. Weather is gorgeous and I took a different route along the red brick road and over the heath. The red brick road is a footpath leading on to the heathland, out of interest I measured it with my Garmin and it came up as 980 metres. The path is 9 bricks wide and they are standard sized bricks which were all laid by hand. They’ve held up really well over the many years.
I’m now sitting on the sofa squishing a ball between my ankles and drinking coffee ☕️

No Yellow Brick Road nearby?
3" or 4" deep and 9" or 11" long?
