Our composter is finally in position in the corner of the garden. It had to wait until the courgettes were finished for the season because I had to dig one up to make room. The corner of the garden is looking very bare now.

One downside with the composter is that it has taken up some vegetable space. I had already decided that I would try to tie the courgettes to stakes or a frame next year, so that they take up less room. This would also keep them off the ground so they should be less likely to rot or get eaten by slugs. I have since read about something called vertical gardening which sounds exactly like I had in mind.
