Hotbins

Hotbin them selves our cheapest at moment with £216 . I’m only watching Marshall’s and hotbin.
Hotbin seem to have reduced their delivery charges as well.

Just took some compost from the Hotbin. I pull it out from the bottom into a gravel tray. Last time, I emptied the tray into a 30 ltr pot and left it in the GH to dry enough for it to be sievable. This was a mistake as the compost leaked liquid onto the GH floor. It also attracted flies. I needed a new plan.............
Today, I emptied the tray of compost into a supermarket stacking crate. Two/three trays filled a crate. The crate was in the wheelbarrow, so I trundled it down the garden to "Compost Corner" and put the crate on the bare soil. Now it can drain onto the soil and do some good!
I ended up with 4 crates of compost, stacked in two piles. I've covered the top crates with old compost sacks to keep the worst of the rain off. The crates have holes in the side so, I'm hoping this will help it dry out.
The next stage will be to roughly sieve it through a wire netting frame, that fits on the wheelbarrow.
I'm wondering whether to put some wormery worms in the crates for a little holiday?

I'd be amazed if the worms didn't find their way in there on their own, they seem to appear anywhere in my garden that has a bit of compost in. Compost being too wet is a similar issue I have with my HungryBin wormery. Unfortunately when you insulate something so much you reduce the ability for moisture to escape. In the case of the HungryBin it makes the compost at the bottom too sticky so it doesn't fall out like its supposed to.
