World's cutest composter?
My cynical side wants to say a polka-dotted, pig-shaped composting bin deserves derision. But try as I might, I can't stop myself liking the fabulous Rolypig composter. The big idea - zany design aside - is that you don't need to stick a fork or shovel in the compost every few days. New waste is added via our kid Roly's snout, after which you rotate him, forcing the material through his 4 internal compartments. Eventually your plant-friendly mulch appears from - you guessed it - his 'bottom'. Rolypig's meant to be on sale sometime this year; he'll cost £170 and come delivered flat-packed.

Update: you'll be able to buy a green, orange or pink Rolypig from the end of June in the UK. He's also expected to go on sale soon in the US.
