Does John read your mail? :-)

Not normally. Actually I'm beginning to talk him into the idea.

The idea of reading your mail or agreeing to have a compost bin?

Agreeing to a compost bin. Any recommendations for something as
unobtrusive
as possible?

Blackwall makes a sturdy black dalek shaped lidded bin with a small door at
the bottom for scooping out ready stuff as needed. Our County Council
(North Yorkshire CC) has been promoting their use and a substantial number
of folk, including me, are very happy with them. They cost £19.99. I am
not certain whether the price is a bargain, negotiated by our Council, or
whether it is its normal price.
