Having the Hotbin close to the house has made me change my routine. Now I'm actively looking for compost material, like the montbretia, chopping down the mint, shredding more paper because I know Mr Greedy likes a regular meal. I would never have collected so much compost material in 10 days without him.

^^^ double likes there Spec. Be careful of the pokey stick, I hear it's getting longer and might reach you. Pinocchio comes to mind, his nose grew with lies, Veggie's pokey stick increases with insults.

We all know that Spec is older than I am, so I humour him in his belief that he is "young". The elderly deserve consideration.............but not always Respect.

Age is just a frame of mind

My frame is rotting away and might have woodworm, the mind is going the same way perhaps

Try some teetree oil in your bath it might kill the woodworm, as for the mind eat an orange

I’m hoping to have all the bits by Sunday to start building one!
Will take photos along the way hopefully culminating in something looking like a hotbin type thingy
RE: Hotbins - Veggie - 31-12-2020
Look forward to watching you, Danny.

Mr Greedy update.
GH temp 20
Mr G's Lid 30
Mr G's Tummy 50. That's the hottest I've seen it.
Bang in the middle of the perfect composting temp range (40-60).
RE: Hotbins - JJB - 14-01-2021
I'm flummoxed at your gh temp, no wonder you get early stuff. My gh is outside air temp. What's your secret?........you're going to say Welsh sunshine aren't you?
