I've only got 5 so far......now where shall I put Paul??

P got a tad suspicious when I told him I wanted a compost bin 7ft long and 2 ft wide Big Grin. Perhaps I should wait til he pegs it. Smile

PS he suggested this post, so don't blame me.

Gosh, hadn't realised P was so tall. Big Grin

He said 7ft, I would economise on materials and make it about 4ft, he would fold up, but it might need to be wider. At least I hope he would fold, he doesn't fold too well at the moment. Big Grin

YOu could dig the hole 6' deep but about 2' square and drop him in feet or head first. Smile

P suggests not that practical, we have a layer of flint about 3ft down. We know from previous experience digging the pond. I was nearly the one in the hole when he caught my bum with the upswing of a pickaxe. I've never let him forget this of course. Smile

Could combine it with excavation for a ground source heat pump, don't they dig big vertical holes for them?

I'd like to be composted too lol

I have seven bins, only four of them reasonably big enough to take me haha

I'll probably end up in the Hotbin - the composting version of Hell. Big Grin
