I used mine still in a dry twiggy straw like state. I needed to move a batch on, so I could turn the next bay. I put it on a baked hard empty slopey bed, that was a problem, too dry and hard to plant in really, and I had to keep weeding it. The dry compost has been surprisingly effective, and the little rain we have had seems to have stayed in the soil, it’s kept it damper and it’s soft enough to plant in. So I’m pretty happy with dry twiggy compost, or, it’s better than nothing if you need a mulch.
My ex was suddenly struck down with hesitancy when asked to do the necessary but recovered when he took the watering can to the bathroom. There's nothing like a good Catholic upbringing to beat the B'Jaysus into you.

I reckons I spend about £15 on petrol each cut.
