The trouble with this method is the empty one blows away if we have any wind, like last weekend! I put stones on it but it doesn't help. The idea of using the hatch at the bottom doesn't work in my experience, it is easier to lift the whole thing off. I am trying one of those 3 feet square plastic linkabord bins but I can't reach the bottom, or the back from the hatch. I keep putting the 'stuff' in but don't know how I am going to get it out!
