Marie-Clare Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I went looking for a compost bin this morning and was amazed at the price - 82 euros for a standard domestic sized one. Can anyone advise on anywhere which has one cheaper. Also where is the best place to get compost until I get mine up and running. I am in 45.ThanksMarie-Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpprh Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hiit is worth asking at the Mairie.We have a local scheme where you can get a plastic composteur for 8 Euro.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesLauriers Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 The Leclerc's near us are advertising a compost bin for €29.99 this week - looks quite a good one too. I thought of buying one or two but I might now ask at the Mairie thanks to Mpprh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Ours are made from old pallets (Bob Flowerdew would be proud of us) - cost nowt.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Ours are made of pallets too. In our garden they look better, I feel, as there are three of them and its a very 'rural' garden, but it was a lot of time and effort to make them. I think if these are valid considerations 8E is a really good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 We bought a plastic composter from Pole Vert (can't remember exact price, less than forty euros though - turbo-composteur). It is square with a slide-up slat on each side for taking out the compost when ready. I think they are on special offer in OBI at the moment. I would prefer home-made pallet ones too but we put our food waste in the compost and our neighbours dogs/local wildlife would eat it before it could decompose. For compost in the meantime, try your local dechetterie - ours offers compost for free. Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
