Free: HOTBIN MK 2, 200 litre, compost bin (Clarkston G76) To give everyone a chance of getting to see this, the earliest I'll make a decision on who this will go to will be on Friday 25th April after 8pm. This is for collection only from Clarkston in East Renfrewshire. Do read all the details to be sure this will suit you. In registering your interest please indicate what days and times, from Saturday 26th April onwards, you'd plan to uplift from here. This is MK2 HOTBIN 200 litre composter which was bought without the optional plinth. It has not been a success for us as we don't have enough throughput. Needs right mix of content for success. A shame as it was not cheap! Could be handy on an allotment. It has seen little use and has been drained and cleaned out. Only thing you might consider getting are a replacement odour filter (£15 from HOTBIN) and possibly a HOTBIN plinth for the 200 litre composter (£40 from HOTBIN). A plinth is a good idea as it means you can easily drain off the compost "juice" to use as fertiliser BUT you could always fashion a plinth from bricks, blocks, slabs or the like. The HOTBIN comes with: Two thermometers to monitor temperature An airtight lid Odour filter (this needs replacing) to reduce smells associated with attracting vermin and flies 50mm thick insulating walls to lock in the heat Aeration base plate to disperse air within the bin Removable front hatch to access ready compost Two cam strap(s) Kick start bottle (to keep HOTBIN working in winter) Raking stick (not the original but a replacement. The original raking stick was basically the handle for a small paint roller) I no longer have all the user manuals but they can be printed off from the HOTBIN website: What HotBin has to say about this: "The new and improved HOTBIN 200 is no ordinary compost bin. It HOT composts all year to RECYCLE your food and garden waste into RICH compost fast. Expect compost every 90 days without forking, tumbling, undue odour or flies. Household Size: Designed for an average 3-5 person household with a small/medium garden. Need any Woodchip? HOTBIN requires the addition of brown woody material such as hard woody prunings or woodchip to help aerate the composting process. Minimum weekly waste to stay hot 5kg or 10ltrs = 2 small kitchen caddy Assembly: None required Capacity: Approx. 200 litres Weight: 6kg (unboxed) Size: 115 x 55 x 55cm (45x22x22 inches)" Might be handy to have a look at my post of an ALKO shredder as that might help you create your woody stuff for your composter.

It's orange and comes with its cable, earthing rod and user manual. Best to wear goggles/safety glasses and sturdy gloves when using. Do read the user manual before using for the first time. It is designed for use on woody twigs and stems but is not for thick branches. A handy thing to create some of the woody stuff you might need for a HOTBIN. See my other post for a HOTBIN MK 2 200 litre composter.

These are for collection only from Clarkston in East Renfrewshire, and I'm looking for all of the items in this post to go to one freegler. Do read all the details to be sure these will suit you.

Can make several raised planters with these from 15cm tall to 45cm tall. 50cm square, 100cm square, 100cm by 50cm and various other options available with the range of components listed. These are Link-a-Bord components, designed to create raised beds from 15cm to 45cm high. See the website - / They have been unused from new and have been kept in a shed for some years. About 4 of the 100cm boards are slightly bowed but could still form roughly a 1m square by 15cm high planter.

See the website for instructions.
