There's a really cool eco website called Wiggly Wigglers. It's kind of like Lush for gardens and has some brilliant products for helping the average 'good life' gardener. I once bought a compost corkscrew tool that has made mixing my compost bins a breeze and it's one of my favourite bits of garden kit. Here's a link to their website if you're interested:
I've always wanted one of the Wiggly Wiggler's wormeries. For those who don't already know a wormery is a composter. It consists of trays which you fill up one at a time with kitchin waste and the worms turn it into lovely rich wormcaste compost.

My wormery arrived at 8am this morning. As most Minions were still in the land of nod, and Charlie was looking after Minion 6, it was left to Minion 5 and I to assemble it:

 |
| Charlie brings the workers a well earned cuppa. |
 |
| Minion 5 added the worms. She wasn't squeamish at all. Minion 1 would have screamed like a girl. |
 |
| Minion 6 has a nose! |

By 9am it was up and running! By which time a few more minions had dragged themselves from the pit. At 11am we left Minion HQ to replace our chickens.....
