What compost methods do you use? Anyone else using a Bokashi?
I've just bought a Hot Bin (I've read some really good reviews) but haven't set it up yet. Anyone else using one? How have you found it?

I look forward to your first reports - I just read about it - fascinating. I use a Henchman Compost Tumbler - http://www.henchman.co.uk/category/4/Compost Tumblers - brilliant piece of kit!

We rarely have meat scraps, but can't say I would want to use them in compost. We have a wormery too!

For me just a standard compost bin with vegetable left overs and tea bags. If it gets a bit mucky with too many flies etc just some left over newspaper (dry waste) to balance it out.

I never compost tea bags because of the plastics. I intend to set up the Hot Bin this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, the weekend was busy, so I got the Hot Bin set up last Monday (6 days ago). It's not quite filled to its minimum amount yet - mostly with food waste, cardboard and nettles - but it's getting close. Even so, it's heated to 80 degrees and is giving off steam.
So far, so good.
