Blimey, you don't hang about do you?  :lol:

How did you fix the handle on? (just wondering how it copes with the torque of twisting the screw deep into compost.)
Its threaded 8mm and a light peening of the top edge to settle things in place, I have some great compost in the bottom half of my bins which I have never been able to get at before, such a great tool, many thanks again for a great idea, Dave
Today i will be mainly wearing no trousers

3 different neighbours dropped off a bag of grass clippings and having no where to use them it was time to empty the dalek at the top of the garden, long to short, I now have 3 large bags of rich compost. My wife helped me to fasten some plastic sheet to the bottom of the bin to catch any liquid for fertiliser and it now resides in front of my home made greenhouse, I layered it with corrugated cardboard and GCs and when it settled I topped it off with the larger bits from the riddled compost, this was done over several days, I am very interested to see how long it takes to cook, cheers Dave
