It was £2.00 so I had to have it, but what do you do with it? :-p

Made ya look!

Tis true though..I bought the same tumbling compost bin on a stand for £2.00 as seen in my pic - A bargain me thinks 😄

Trouble is, I've never composted before....

I have found quite a bit of useful info on the net, but as these make compost in just three weeks, do I have to treat it differently to a compost heap that is forked over?

😛

I forgot to add that it holds 200 litres, and I also need to know when I should stop filling it? (I'm guessing halfway ish)

It looks like a clever idea to me. The problem I have with my static one is mixing it up.

[miss_daisys_delectables]

My back is weak due to an injury, and there's no way I could fork over a traditional compost heap.  At least with this thing, I'll only have to push down on the top and swivel it over.

It will help with upper arm wobblies.

OK, call me thick, but what's holding that thing up??  The little arms are underneath the frame!:O

I think there is a bolt & washer that it revolves on CG.

there should be a rod all the way through the middle, when turned that helps break up and stir the contents

now that's a bargain....lucky you.

I made compost once in a bin with no bottom in it. All the lovely compost juice would drain away:_| we put it on a plastic sheet and I spent ages spooning it into a watering can:_|

Fantastic bargain! 😮 

Make sure to add enough brown material as otherwise you could end up with a sludgy, drippy mess.    I use brown packing paper and cardboard to redress the balance of peelings and weeds. 

Enjoy!
