TV carpenter Wayne Perrey “loves” our beehive compost bin – featured on Alan Titchmarsh’s Love Your Weekend

On Sunday 22nd March, our charming beehive compost bin starred in ITV’s Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh. TV carpenter Wayne Perrey featured alongside Alan in a segment of the show encouraging viewers to make their own compost at home.

The pair then looked at a range of compost bin options, with Bluum’s beehive compost bin as the attractive, middle of the range option. Wayne pointed out that if your compost bin will be on display in your garden, you may want to opt for something more appealing to the eye, that you could also stain or paint to suit your exterior.

Our use of sustainable, pressure treated timber in our compost bins was also highlighted in the programme, an important aspect for the eco-conscious gardener and key to a quality bin that will last.

Making your own compost at home has heaps (pun intended) of benefits. Composting your kitchen and garden waste helps free up space in your usual bins and keeps you from having to buy compost to enrich your garden soil as you can use your own.

As Alan Titchmarsh pointed out, if you buy less compost from the garden centre, not only do you save a few pounds, you also save on single use plastic, doing a further good turn for the planet.

If you’re ready to start your composting journey or looking to upgrade your current bin for something with style and substance, take a closer look at our beehive compost bin.
