The potato and the tomato, as roots/fruits, will not do any harm, it's the plants they grow on that should be avoided. You may eat and enjoy a potato or a tomato and come to no harm. Eat a potato or tomato plant and, if you don't snuff it, you won't be very well. The toxicity is in the plant, not the fruit.

I thought WE were talking about the plant and not the fruit .???

its soooo easy to order as well

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.

 

[flashy]

do you mean us in Blackburn actually get something out of this postcode lottery thats going on? chuffin ell, aint we lucky

 

[West Ender]

They see a Cheshire postcode - they think M U footballers' wags.

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

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.
