Paul: petrol or electric? I thought of getting one, but wasn't sure it was worth the hassle.
I do get fed up with snipping with secateurs though.

An elecrtic one, i keep it in the shed and just put a bucket under to catch the bits so i dont need to take it out of the shed. Works a treat.

I wish I knew someone with a rabbit! I dont mind composting at all, but when it comes to prepping a lot of cabbages etc, then Id love to treat some furry bundles

Do you have an animal rescue near you, they may swap veg scraps for poop. Some councils make um pay for poop removal!
