cool as ice

[BUFFS]

we have had a couple of fairly mild days,so today i unloaded the compost bin (7 big barrowfuls) and then found that 1 inch down was solid ice for the next 6 inches, it took my pickaxe(i didnt want to admit id jumped the gun) and a lot of hard work to bury it all under what will be the runners and french bean area..OH just stood there smiling.....

Would it be fair to say that your compost hadn't heated up as much as you'd hoped?
