I've got some sales literature that came in a Screwfix order about a
device
for making compost called the ComposTumbler that- supposedly- makes good
compost in 14 days because it has the facility for turning rather like a
cement mixer; you turn it every day and this allows the process to speed
up
somewhat. All was well until I called the freephone number and heard the
prices- £299 and £399 for the medium and large ones respectively and for
the
small garden-porch model, £199.

If these reelly are that good I *might* be interested since whatever it
takes
to make compost normally is probably too much effort for me with my
physical
limitations. But this does sound a little expensive! Anyone know anything
about these?

Dont bother ......have not heard any good reports on these and they are sure
expensive

The best compost bins remain close boarded pallets put together line with
heavy duty polythene or old carpet
put them on concrete or paving slabs
fill with a good mix of grass, leaves, shredded prunings ,shredded paper,
cardboard , horse manure , weeds etc mix together well .....add a few
buckets of urine cover with plastic plus a solid lid ........in 3 months
turn the whole lot into a 2nd bin and depending on weather and worm action
in 6 to 9 months you will have compost like potting compost
