Unfortunately, mine no longer do them cheap, and I could do with another one. Something for my birthday list I think  :lol:

I checked my council and they were the same price as DD's link plus they added delivery charge, so dearer in the long run.

Do they activate the compost quicker than a wooden type heap or do you have both on the go?

I find they trap the heat in summer and get really hot, so work quicker than stuff in the wooden one :)

I actually used a spare Garden recycle bin that the council delivered to me by accident it is quite a large bin and has vents at the top I just drilled a few more holes in for added ventilation. 
The best way to learn to do something is to do something.

the black plastic bins work really well, make sure they are in the sun

What's with all this "late" business?

It's still winter for goodness sake!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Went to see the new plot today, Looks like the council got the plot numbers mixed up and iv ended my self up with a double plot with a fully glasses green house on it  :happy:
The sites also got a composting toilet and has got the funding for a new fence all around the perimeter. All the beds are dug out and just need weeding, theres also heaps of strawberry plants in there. Thought id be paying on the spot and getting the keys like my last plot but terns out we have to send some letters back to the council then  we get the keys. Soon be all turned over and ready though. Got all the potatoes ready and chitting. Cant bloomin wait  :D

The problem is people see the seasons as Time and Calender not for what it is, "A Season"

I hear all the time spring, summer, autumn, winter is late early this year No it's not the planets weather is controlled by the sun and there is a lot of solar activity at the moment so much that there is a polar shift taking place causing additional issues with the weather. When people start to get back to watching the changes people will begin to understand that time is an illusion. Lets not forget all the Geo engineering going around the world Climate Change  >:( Climate Manipulation more like it.

I've now rough dug the 3 quarters of my full plot I'll be using for veg, pulled out as much weed root as I could find, next is to rotavate it in a couple of weeks...... What a difference a year makes (and tonnes of rubbish shifted and digging)
