Insulate the Daleks with something like loft insulation strapped around them. A couple of rolls will be much less cost than buying a Hot Bin. G,Harman Hot water tank blanket? Although the insulation is somewhat useless if it gets soaked with water and remains wet. I did wonder about that as an option, but the Dalek shaped composters are a large and uneven circumference bigger than most domestic hot water tanks, especially around the base. ISTR the blankets are not that thick either. The point about the insulation getting wet is a good one, Until I found that burying the compost bin in the middle of the grass heap worked well enough I was going to wrap it with an old roll of insulation we had and then use some large sheets of bubblewrap that we used as green house insulation one year but are now surplus , that would have given a degree of water resistance, some bin liners and sticky tape would do the same. Or the OP could just buy a wide screen telly and use the packaging to make a Hotbin G.Harman |
