it doesnt take long for them to arrive either, your only up the road from me so we'll probably get them on the same day lol


its really worth doing though, i find i have a hell of a lot more room in my red bin now that i recycle everything i can and compost the rest, i dont even put any garden waste out for the council anymore, it all goes in my compost bin

I got my compost bin from them. I waited 2 months and nothing arrived so I rang them. They said they "hadn't seen" the email request - so, obviously, weren't looking. It cost me £10 too. It's obviously a postcode thing. :mad:

Where do you get those big tub things that you put your compost heap in from?
Want to start one and need to get hold of one!
Thanks for any help!

Got mine from Homebase about two years ago. Later that day I heard that the Council were giving them away free. :(

Might be worth a call to the Council to see if they still do it.

Just ordered mine and let you know how I get on LOL :D :p

Do you not think a good level of well rotted manure as a starting point in bottom of bin is needed to?

No, because if you leave it for at least a year it will compost itself. My bin has a hatch to shovel out the botton compost. I haven't touched it for over 12 months and I won't until this time next year.

Re: Compost Question
 
just got my new composter delivered today and i have a question for you


my pansies have now seen better days, can i put them and the compost from them in my composter?

i have 2 compost bins now, one that is nearly ready which i will use next year for my peas, sprouts, radish and flowers etc

and this new one i will be soley using for my spuds and maybe tomato's sometime in the future, i have got this new one because the one thats already composting has got potato compost in it so i cant use it for next years spuds
