Compost : The Pen is Mightier than the Dalek.

 

 As you might know, if you've followed me for any length of time, I hate Daleks.


 

 

No! Not those things, the least-scary and stupidly mobility-limited villain ever invented or made out of cardboard egg cartons.

No, I mean those nasty plastic compost bins - and for once, yes, I use the word “bin” rather than “pen”.


 

Anyway.... I hate plastic compost bins, known as daleks, because they don't work. They simply don't work.

The idea is that you tip material in the top, then when it's ready (pause for hollow laugh), you are supposed to open the little door at the bottom, scrape out the good stuff, then continue shovelling more material in the top, as part of a continual process.

Great idea in theory: but in the real world...
