Problem with commercial compost

I decant the whole sack into an old dustbin (for storage) and use a garden fork to break it up. When I take compost from the bin to a potting tray I use a handfork if it needs to be broken up even finer; and add grit to lighten it. We fortunate enough last year to find a branch of Lidl selling off some electric cement/plaster /paint stirrers for £5 like this one. http://www.lidl-service.com/cps/rde/...619319&title=M So far it has stirred and mixed compost soil etc fine in a dustbin, plus some jobs doing what it was designed for. At £5 if it only lasts a couple of seasons it will be a bargain, don't know what the pre clearance price was . If cheap enough when it comes around again it might be an idea for some. That is so cheap, the ones in Screwfix are £100. You can buy the "blade" as a tool for an electric drill for about £5. but would that be powerful enough for compost. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.
