Would love to win the 100ltr bin as being on a pension, I have limited funds so unable to buy one. I hate throwing away green waste and making my own compost would improve the soil in my small garden and any left over I can use around the grounds of local hospice where I volunteer. Fingers crossed!!

Muddy fields are no fun! Great looking drains. Have you considered building berms and swales to make use of any uneven ground? It's a permaculture technique that collects rainwater and reroutes it along channels (or into small stand-alone ponds) that are planted with trees and plants. Check it out, it's a brilliant addition to self-sufficient homesteads!

As a side note, l had a tiny house constructed, on a prepared concrete pad, in 2018. It was built in a single 24 hr period, spanning two half days, and then it rained, so very, very lucky to get it weather tight. Covid began the following Spring, which in turn, unforseen at the time doubled the cost of raw materials such as the wood, plus we are the only people who ever attempted this project, l dont think the location could be tackled again, as logistically it would be virtually impossible for anyone to attempt what was done here. We had very clever people, who overcame impossible odds, one example being the house was delivered two miles away, on a huge 32 tonne flatbed without lifting equipment , so had to be lifted off with a JCB, and then travelled on the forks whilst elevated over several fields. My point being, to attempt this today, would easily double the cost, plus when you add it's uniqueness in location would attract a further premium. It is probably the only building that has quadrupled in price during this short period, and so l am sure you two are also aware that everything you both do, ( in the rain, mostly) is adding value, plus a premium in price too, and though you are not wishing to sell, it still remains a very strong investment, which with hindsight leads to a renewed sense of financial security with all the money you both have invested, without ever mentioning the sheer hard work, which others would have to do, or pay for today if they wished to achieve your same fabulous goal.👍

Bite the bullet, spend the money and get a Kubota tractor, they do 0% interest finance deals and while they're expensive, that thing has already saved me so much money it's not funny. We have 4 acres and it's worth its weight in gold. We have the BX23S which is the version with the bucket on the front, excavator on the back and the 60 inch mower deck underneath. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Thanks for the suggestion. It would be an incredible machine for us but we just can't bring ourselves to buy anything on finance. I (Emilie) have always had a fear of debt or buying things we couldn't afford/or buying on finance - I know it's not a bad thing but from growing up in a very financially unstable home that was deep in debt it just scared me for life 😂 I also have a chronic illness that has cost us a lot of money via private health care and I just have that fear that if it got worse and it effected my ability to work how would I then pay off whatever I had on finance. I just can't bring myself to do it 😂

To add to the above, my father (age 61) “inherited” a used Kubota along with the 22 acres he and Mom planned for a retirement hobby farm. He used it continually, to deepen a stock pond, to spray potassium on his pecan orchard, to move manure, to stack hay, to mow pastures, and much more. It was indestructible, until I noticed, after maybe 15 years, he wasn’t using it. When I asked why, he said it needed a lube job. The previous landowner had thoughtfully left the tractor manual, which listed quite a long list of lubrication products required. I copied them down, and, since Christmas was approaching, called his local hardware store and ordered all that was required. After Dad lubed up his Kubota, it was back in use, and continued until the death of my parents in two successive years just after Dad turned 80. My brother and I included it in the sale of the land, as the new owner would need it. P.S. i’m not saying it went that long without maintenance; I have no idea how often he changed fluids as I was just a yearly visitor.

The 200 litre hot bin would be ideal for my garden. Following a couple of years of personal issues my garden had almost reverted to wilderness. Final straw was when my greenhouse literally blew away in the night - it was found 100 metres away smashed up in a farmers field. After watching your channel and Charles Dowding (no dig method), and the Farmyard Garden, for inspiration, I started again. It was a bit late in the season to be honest, but I’ve set up a couple of raised beds and got another greenhouse. Only got a few things going on at the moment and I’m not sure how many will get over the finishing line in the few weeks left of the growing season, but fingers crossed eh? And if not, there’s always next year!

Looks like a nice bit of Cherry pipe you used . You can get vermin grates to go on the end of the pipe only take 2 minutes to install .

Loved watching the video, thank you for taking time to make and share it with us. Seeing the diggers, tractor and now your new quad, it shows just how great the right piece of machinery is and how efficient it can make working on the land. I love the design of the composter and would love to enter the competition. If we won one, we would genuinely need the 200 litre composter as we live in rural Somerset with a large garden and lots of perennials that need to be trimmed regularly.

It's so satisfying to watch as you check off items on your to-do list. You must feel that, as well. And every single thing you do improves the land and the quality of your life there. Great video!

We would love the two hundred litre hot bin. It would help us so much in our garden and allotment .xxx

Should have wrapped the pipe with a membrane to reduce any sediment infiltration over time. The soil will flow with the water into the pipe and overtime it will block up, also stops any tree roots binding up the pipe as much.

I grow tomatoes/peppers and a few other bits in my garden. It’s a fab hobby to have to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and this year I’ve grown more flowers for the pollinators. Think I could make great use of the hotbin 100 😊

I would definitely choose the Hotbin (200ltr). Apart from 2 caddies worth of kitchen waste, I always have waste from the garden, so the Hotbin would certainly suit my needs!

The positive side of having clay soil is that Acer trees love it! And Acers are beautiful. You can get lots of different varieties, and the colours they produce are brilliant- especially in autumn! We have clay soil at our house and 3 very happy Acer trees!

It's great watching the progress from the overgrown mess you moved into at first. I'd love to have the 200 litre Hotbin, and also the 100 litre too to be fair, have them both running at staggered cycles for compost every 45 days instead of 90. I currently only have a tarp makeshift composter, it takes forever.

100L for us as we only have a small garden these days and we pay the local coucil to take away out garden rubbish. So i would love to save money and make our own compost. Another cracking video guys, perfect to watch during work break.

We have a Hotbin for many years, but as it fill the compost becomes heavy and presses on the door. I've replaced the supplied staps with rachet straps. Good luck, great program.

Great progress on the land. Well done! I would choose the £255 large composter if I had the money to purchase one 🌞

We’d love a 200l hotbin! I was considering making my own pallet bin as well, but the hotbin really looks like it would be brill! We try to be as sustainable as we can be in our house, and teach our kids how to be more self sufficient, so that would be a fantastic tool to cut down on waste… also love the liquid fertiliser valve!!

Brilliant to see the progress as ever. A 200 litre Hotbin would be ideal for my Sister in law as she is offgrid and mid wales, so like yourselves not the greatest of weather all year round.

200 litre hotbin. looks good, the temperatures should kill off pests. its probably a big job to amend your clay soil, might need to speak to some experts.

Fantastic video again today, love seeing the progress you are making, hopefully your home will be completed soon. If I have the option I would go for the 100 lt bin, we also live in a wooded area which is prom to rats the size of a domestic cat, we see them weekly sat on top the the bird feeders which they share with the local squirrels. The birds don’t get a look in anymore🐿️🐀
