Hello all,
I was offered several bags of spent hops from a brewery yesterday, but I'm not sure if I dig them in or put them to rot down in the compost bin. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Gertie.
Use them as a mulch and or in the compost bin. :wave:
Oh you lucky thing...lovely stuff..!
As Kev says, they're great as a mulch.
I find that if used as a mulch they tend to dry out and blow away. However, I can vouch that they are brilliant for breaking down horse manure in a compost bin. I had some field droppings in February and the ones that got mixed with hops are now ready to use whereas those without the hops are still a bit ripe.
