Compost

Dear all,
thank you for all the nice and interesting answers that I got about composting i Greece!
 
I was not sure whether to stop or not, but now after all the information that I got and my own discoveries lately I shall certainly continue. After digging in one of the two compartment in my closed compost, I saw that I have been adding way too much water in the summer when I thought the compost was too dry. 

A closed compost doesn't need that much extra water since very little evaporates through the openings. The top  layer was very good, but the rest soggy and I shall have to remove the surplus water somehow and also add some soil or peat to suck up the rest. The cockroaches are gone now for some reason, and the second compartment which I am using now looks Ok.
Gardening here is so exciting and different from Sweden. I find it very exciting, and am very greatful for any tips on plants and trees that do well in southern Greece, and also on where to get hold of them as the nurseries really have very little to offer.
 
Kind regards,
Gunnar Dath
