Attractive Beehive Composter
Gardening.co.uk was delighted to send out the beehive composter to one new member to join the site in October, Peter Calderwood from Riddlesden, West Yorkshire. Congratulations Pete.

Beehive composters from Wiggly Wigglers make attractive alternatives to the eyesores you tend to hide away at the bottom of the garden.

They're made locally from sustainable, treated timber and each pre-assembled layer simply stacks on top of the next. A door at the base allows you easy access to your compost, or if you want a whole batch at once, just lift one or more of the four sections away.

The beehive is available from stock in a choice of plain, white or blue with seven new colours: yellow, purple, red, green, magenta, aqua and pink now available painted to order (allow 10 days for delivery).

The composter measures 61.5 x 61.5 x 95cm (approx 24 x 24 x 37½in) and holds about 300 litres. It costs £120 for the plain version and £145 for coloured options.

Calling all new members
One new Gardening.co.uk member to join the site each month will win a great gardening prize. Why not join today for free to make full use of the site's benefits and be in with a chance of winning more prizes.
