• Today marks the 10 time in 2 years I've emptied the hotbin. Such an amazing purchase.

    We got one a few weeks ago. It's finally up to temperature (probably didn't have enough stuff in it to begin with) and I just drained the juice from the bottom. Hope that isn't a frequent task - it certainly has a flavour

  • I just let it drain out into a takeaway container everyday and tip it onto the lawn. Just remember that it shouldn't smell and if it does, just add more carbon into it. If it gets cold, just add a catcher of grass clippings or hedge clippings.
    I've emptied it a few more times than when I linked above and have extended the border to an equal width the whole way down. Got some chives, rhubarb, lambs ear, elephants ears, a climbing hydrangea, a panicle hydrangea and all manner of other random stuff in there now. Will hopefully come together nicely in a year or so.

  • I think the smell may have been the stewed worms from the half-chooched compost I mixed in to start with. We'll see what it's like next time
