What the others have said and add Garrotta

and stand with your back to the wind.


my mind boggles, I try to visualise myself trying to balance on the top
of
mine, its taller than me.....plus I'm a lady...... then some bright
spark
says, why not put it in a jug........

No, no, it's definitely a man thing! (a) they have the equipment and (b)
they have different hormones. I'm told that Copella fruit juice bottles

One man should be enough - in a compost sense I mean. Apply daily (just

Old detergent bottles are good. Just pull out the pouring spout if there
is one. Extra wide neck etc. Ideal.
