I had to take some time away from, well, outdoors really, because it has been so hot and I just couldn’t cope with it. Once temperatures returned to something more “normal” for the time of year however, I got on with finishing the spreading of compost in the polytunnel.
Whilst I was filling the wheelbarrow I thought I could feel some residual heat in the heap (the last remaining from last year) so I put the thermometer into it. I was somewhat surprised by the result given that no material has been added since early November.
