Im making an effort to recycle pretty much all my vegatitive waste but
am new to composting. I've only a small garden and don't really want
to have a 220l compost bin in my garden which seems to be the standard
size. Does anyone know of any smaller bins around? I can't seem to
find them on the internet atall. I'm in the UK.


What I have done is get an old plastic dustbin, now succeeded by an
old slim swing-top bin; remove lid, turn upside down, cut out bottom,
so the base is wider than the top and can be easily lifted off.
It is enough formost of my kitchen waste and is assisted by
occasional doses of activator of whatever sort you have available.
The free sort is best!


I understand that the male waste is far superior to that of the female!
