Made use of this old bath that was lying around. Used the hugelkulture method with logs, branches and more laying of the chickens compost and my compost etc. planted shallots and covered in oak leaves. Made a cover for it so the birds don’t dig in and pull out all the worms in there! Fingers crossed it all works!
