Another ex-grow-op providing some free compost. This one dumped within wheel-barrowing distance of home - very convenient (except for our drive being very steep).

The compost does have some unidentifiable water retaining granules and came in individual fabric root bags, which while quite cute are made of recycled plastic so overall, a bit wary of the microplastics here. Will use for non food growing. The last grow op we recovered, we got loads of large high quality pots!

@johnl unsolicited pro tip.. Speak to your local farmers, ask them to stick their 12ft bucket on their tractor and just hoy the compost straight into the bucket and offload up at your house. £20 for 30 mins work for the farmer and everyone is happy :)

That or suffer w/ the barrowing, I don't mind a little manual labour but when it's continuous or I'm fighting against the elements I will call in the local farmer :P

🆕 blog! “One MegaWattHour of Battery Power!”

Less than a year ago, in August 2023, we installed a 4.8kWh Solar Battery at a cost of £2,900. Whenever I talk about the upfront capital costs of solar power, people rightly want to know what the payback period is. Well, after less than 10 months, the battery has given us 1MWh. To put that […]

Good write up tho, I wrote about things you can dump excess energy into when the prices are low and you have an excess..

@Edent Hah I think my brain skipped the bits in () :P

I'd say it's clear enough tbh.

I was wondering if there is a HTML attribute for referrals (Where the author is compensated by the visitor clicking the link) and haven't found anything which is kinda interesting.

It'd be nice for the person clicking a link to know if their a financial motivation in the author sharing that link with them, y'know?
