Just the standard black plastic bins, no bottom and wider at the bottom than top. Not the most elegant of things to look at but for the veg plot it doesn't really matter. They work a treat. -- David in Normandy. To e-mail you must include the password FROG on the subject line, or it will be automatically deleted by a filter and not reach my inbox. |

You might be able to get a bin free or at a subsidised price from your local council. David Hill |

Enough air seems to get in from the bottom somehow, but I place mine on top of loosely dug soil anyway and change the position of the bin frequently so the ground doesn't become too acid. Potatoes thrive in such ground but not brassicas. -- David in Normandy.

There will be some regulation about the transfer of compost between EU countries. You would probably have needed to attach a yellow tracking label to every kilo of compost. Farmers have to label all their produce even if it stays in the same country. Steve -- Neural Planner Software Ltd www.NPSL1.com EasyNN-plus. Neural Networks plus. www.easynn.com SwingNN.
