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?

I remeber these, or something similar, were tested in the Gardeners' World
composting trials, a year or two ago. I recall Monty was very sceptical
about it to start with but was then very impressed when it did produce
compost considerably faster than any of the other heaps/dalek bins/whatever.

However, at that price, I'd want it to make compost instantly, and also make
me cups of tea.
