...ill use this for grass mowings, hedge clippings but it's clearly not going to work for food waste any longer. What would you suggest I use instead? There's only three in my family and my partner is away a lot so ... I was thinking a Little Pig, perhaps?

Hi Melanie
Sorry to hear that. To be honest i have never come across someone with a Hotbin that was eaten through. You can of course still use it to store and breakdown your general garden waste but yes the kitchen waste will only attract vermin. That is why the Joraforms are so good. They are up off the ground with a fully sealed metal surround which creates serious heat and you won't have any vermin issues. The Joraform will get through a lot more garden and kitchen waste than a Hotbin
