That one sounds good lottie , i think for me its one of those things i dream of, but probably woudnt be used as much as it should ! ...just like the excersise bike!
Just wish this next few weeks would hurry up and go, so i can get back into tjings, ive got a to do list as long as my arm!
Excellent, I will leave mine in the sun on the slabs and hope for wiggly worms. I am also going to adopt the ex rubbish bin with holes in outside the back door for collection that blue onion suggested. I have requested a twin tumbler for my birthday but am not hopeful!
I used to have two rotory bins they were rubbish, heavy to turn and just rolled everything into a soggy great solid lump.
i don't turn my dalek things because I am lucky to have the space for four and it takes about nine month to make usable compost + I just don't have the energy to do it now
Yes, proper disposable of garbage is required. You should not dump the garbage directly into the soil. Some kind of garbage can be useful and some materials can be recycled specially plastic as it is really harmful and also cause soil erosion.
Nobody's 'dumping garbage' - this thread is about composting. I think you're reading something into this that isn't there.
If you read the thread from the beginning , you'll discover more about the process. Many of us do it and we don't normally put plastic into our compost bins ....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I started putting composting bits into a regular black bin. I had acquired some pallets but wanted to start saving until I got around to making the pallet bins. That was last year.
When we did the final lawn cut last autumn the bin was just about full and pallet bin still not built, so I gave it a good turn layered the top with the grass cuttings and then some newspaper and left it alone all winter. I started filling a second bin over winter and it's just about reaching the top.
Pallet bin still not built ; however a week or so ago I turned out bin 1 onto a bed I had just cut from lawn (first bed I've created ) and it was lovely. Slightly clumpy, from lack of turning I suspect, but I have very sandy soil so perfect for me. I gave it a good dig into soil and left it for a week and planted the bed last weekend.
I am very happy with my make shift method although still intending to make a pallet bin, I will keep at least one black bin going for just outside back door convenience

I have four dalek type compost bins all standing on concrete I don't know how the worms get in but they do

I think something's been lost in translation ... from Alvina's earlier posts I gather she comes from China or Malaysia or thereabouts.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

I think you and I are thinking along similar lines Fairy
