Food scraps tipped on top of the compost pile are easily chopped to a good consistency with our machete and can be spread out to a consistent thin layer with the end of the blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The machete is a jungle tool, and any juicy stemmed garden prunings \u2013 particularly the freshly picked stems of plants that have gone to seed like silverbeet, celery, lettuce and artichokes \u2013 are quickly reduced to a pile of short chopped (20cm or under is great) compost additions with our machetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>A sharp machete blade means I don\u2019t have to hack as hard \u2013 safer for fingers in the long run and I always wear a glove on the hand holding the stem. Alternatively, chopping the prunings on a straw bale placed on-edge keep the machete\u2019s work swift and safe (thanks to YIMBY* composter Ilka White for this tip).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>When prunings are a bit woody and dry or too rubbery and flexible (think tomato stems, long grass or any of the previous list or stems that have been left to dry for a few days) the machete struggles to do the chopping job. This is where a good sharp pair of secateurs excels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find yourself with a barrow-load or more of this type of material, chopping it all up with secateurs can be slow work and your forearm and hand might get very sore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Many materials can be dealt with quite effectively by putting them down on soft ground and chopping them up with a sharp spade. Sharp tools really do make working easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Powered mulchers (petrol or electric) are a tempting option when our piles of carbon-rich materials get out of control, and in spring and autumn it can be very hard to keep up with the rate of growth, particularly in a big garden. Perhaps a powered mulcher will work well for you, but keeping this work human-powered reduces energy and material use and keeps us strong and fit \u2013 always good things to work towards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>At YIMBY, we encourage our composters to keep their carbon-rich piles at a manageable size by making the chopping-up a regular weekly task. Why not try making this a small but regular part of your weekly composting rounds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next week we meet some composters in our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>\u2013 Joel Meadows works with *Yes In My Back Yard, (YIMBY), a community-scale composting initiative in Castlemaine and surrounds.
