    Sarah, you bring so much sunshine to your videos because you have a personality that everyone just loves. You are very creative, and you get things done. You say sorry a lot and you make me chuckle because you remind me of me in the garden when things take a tackling to do. Well done on your compost bin, it looks fab! Thank you for being you and bringing smiles to us subscribers . You do a great job with your allotment 😊👍

    The compost bin looks great. I grew up following my dad around in the garden and while he was fixing cars. I got to learn so many things and love that I can be independent, handy women unite!! I hope you enjoyed your bbq. 💕

    Your a have a go hero Sarah. Willing to have a go at anything and you managed to make a compost bin. No real trouble at all. Well a frog wasnt trouble. He/she was great to see. The more you have, the less chance of those pesky slugs getting to eat what you plant next. (How very dare)
    Anyway a good froggie save and a job well done Sarah. See you next time. 👋 x

    Love your videos. I hope you give us an occasional allotment video during winter. When you make another compost bin, consider not lining any of it with plastic. The gaps at the sides and the soil as the base will allow air into the pile and the soil will allow worms and creepycrawlies into the composting heap which will help the whole process for you. Can you tell me where you get your energy from? I need as much as you've got! xx

    Sarah, seeing your face is always a blessing! And you are doing a good job on the compost bins from what I can see. One worry I have: I understand composts can become quite heated as they work...is it possible the plastic green shed behind could set fire? Just wondered...Ann (Canada)

      @@annbenedek7221 t is highly unlikely that a compost heap will self-combust under any normal composting conditions due to the moisture left in the decomposing waste. In fact, most organic chemicals will only self-ignite at around 120°C and the maximum temperature most domestic compost heaps will achieve is 75°C.
