Default Free Compost Bins

I assume I'm not the first to post this info but I don't offer any apologies
when (as we say in Lancashire) 'There's summat fer nowt'

If you live in Lancashire, you can have a free Compost Bin courtesy of
Lancashire County Council - who are trying to make us all more aware of the
importance of composting

Go to

http://www.compost-it.org.uk/ to order one

It took about 12 weeks for my bin to arrive - I can assure you it will
arrive eventually

If you live in Bath & NE Somerset (BANES) AND are a pensioner you can
also have a free one.
We have to pay £2.50 for a bag of Council Compost but in Dorset you
can collect it FREE.
I'm not so sure I want Council Compost after the comments about potato
diseases etc!
