Got rid of our Daleks as too energy consuming for what they did.

Settled for http://www.myalbum.com/Album=A7TCLLF7 which have been nothing
but 110% successful and this week, where we have been cutting back and
pruning hedges and producing stacks of shreddings, we have made a temporary
'holding' with wire netting.

Our 'Gardens', even though postage stamp size ;-)) enjoy A) producing a lot
for the compost bins and B) the frits of the bins. (Ours may be postages
stamp, but our daughter's has the scope for a JCB to empty them :-))

harvest each Dalek in alternate years when the contents are entirely
composted.

When a Dalek compostheap is well along, past the worm-infested stage, I
recommend letting it get very dry so ants will colonise the contents.
there's nothing like ants for chewing up rough compost into friable soil

So emptying doesn't present a problem.

Like Jake I wait until the Dalek compost is done (it never gets turned).
Then I slide off the whole Dalek upwards, (Like lifting a bucket off a
sandpie on the beach) leaving a compost-pie which is easily accessible.
I put the dalek on another spot and if there's any rough material at the
top of the pie that isn't quite digested yet I just return it to the
dalek.

I have several daleks, scattered around the garden hidden in high plant
growth. Saves carrying weeds etc to the big compost heaps; and then I have
"local" supplies of finished compost around the garden later, for mulching
or planting. Saves carrying compost.
