pruned....... that's a good point about the turning problem.

I should have said, given you need to turn/aerate the compost to
promote decomposition, see if you can get your hands on one of those
"Garden Claw" weeders that were all the rage years ago. Proper compost
turning tools cost anything up to £20, though you can sometimes find
them for a tenner on ebay. But people seem to be chucking the old
Claws out all the time. Try a "wanted" ad on your local Freecycle and
you may get your hands on a Claw for nowt save a bit of petrol to
collect it. I got one that way and it's great for aerating the stuff
in my daleks.

Where does everybody get the idea that I'm a cheapskate?

Actually, I'd be willing to spend £10 or even £20 to get this
composter working better.
