Newcastle Council offers a discount scheme to buy bins and wormeries - council info here. It links to this website where the offer can be used, by entering your postcode. Some bins have little doors at the base to open up to scrape out compost (as the oldest material is at the bottom); others need you to tip the whole thing over, which is a bigger job and means you have to put back the newer material that had been at the top. Tip: if on an allotment, dig a trough a few inches deep to stand it in, then restore the soil, perhaps with some stones – helps to avoid rats digging into the base. Your throwaways are their Michelin star temptations! Cost tends to start at about £25.
