I'm considering a Green Johanna, a Thermo Wood Composter, a Maze Tumbler or a wormery.

I have a smallish garden and small family. I thought a bog-standard beehive composter might take too long. We will use it primarily for food waste (no lawn) with some shrub clippings. I like that you can put hoover dust and pet hair in too. I'm now going round in circles and I need someone to make the decision for me. BlushGrin

Very early days, and the weather has been so awful, it's a bit too soon to tell.

I've just given up on a Hotbin though I see others earlier liking them. It didn't work at all for us - we ended up with a putrid mess no matter what we did. There was another thread a few weeks back on them so it's worth looking for that if you are considering a Hotbin.

I've a small garden and need to have the compost bin on a hard surface which rules out many of the standard ones. I've just bought this - early days but good so far. www.hozelock.com/product/easymix-2-in-1-composter/

Good luck!
