It's just ridiculous. If it's small enough to turn by hand, it's too
small to make compost. Put it in the same compartment as shredders,
flame-throwers, and wormeries: just another way of separating the
innocent from their hard-earned. Gardening is a simple business, and
those who do it on next to nothing can get better results than those
who spend thousands. These sharks are just trying to cultivate the
idea that everything has to cost money before it'll work.


I have a small wormery that produces excellent compost and liquid plant
food, and takes all of my organic kitchen waste. It sits next to the bin in
my kitchen and was worth every penny. What have you got against them?

Likewise, my shredder minces all my woody trimmings which can then go on the
compost heap. My garden is not big enough to have a pile of clippings,
taking years to rot away, and I don't have a van, trailer or the
inclination to drive miles to the nearest tip. Perhaps you could explain
why my shredder was a waste of money?

The tumbler, however, I completely agree with you about.
