Thanks for your feed back everybody, much appreciated.

I may get one from them, at £10 its not a lot of money. Only problem seems to be the turning i guess. I am also thinking of building a 1 cubic metre bin out of old palletes. Put them side by side and see how things go from there.

I think first make get the stuff rotted down for a few months in the pallete container and them put it into the councils subsided bin to let it finnish off. And then start a new one up again.
