My local Asda (Chandlers Ford) is selling compost bins for £10. They are 220 litre, with a 'door' at the bottom. The assistant told me that they have water butts for the same price but I didn't have a look at those.

I think the compost bins sell elsewhere for £20-30!

    Are these the Blackwall branded ones? have been on the verge of ordering 2 for £30 through a discounted scheme via our Local Authority. Worth a trip to Asda to save a further £10 though!

    They don't have any brand written on them but I've checked the leaflet that was attached and they are made by Strata Products Ltd in Nottinghamshire. Logo says 'Ward from Strata'

    I got one of the water butts - very good for the price. They didn't have many in though.

    Always worth a look on your local freecycle/freegle/greencycle etc. I have 3 compost bins and they all came free, from there. Luck of the draw really, and also worth asking as these are the kind of things people buy then never use.

    They did have some in Chaucer rd Asda on Friday but can't say if they still do. The water butts are really good too!
