    We have a compost bin but are looking for a corkscrew type tool to mix the compost.
    Any ideas where we might get one?

    thegardenshop.ie €18.50 next day delivery, iit's not a corkscrew type though, have a look at it, i googled "compost agitators "

    I don't know if a plaster mixing tool on the end of a drill would work? Suspect the compost may be to wet, heavy and lumpy?

    Most builders merchants would have these

    i don't think that would work, it's designed for fluid agitation rather than with solids.

    Saw that but it is probably too short to fit into a conical bin

    I have 2 of those bins and i use a garden fork to agitate them.

    I just use a garden fork combined with occasionally lifting the bin and turning the heap back in to it.

    There is one but they won't post to Irl.
    Here are a couple of links to services that you can use to have items delivered to a UK address and then sent on. Only costs €3.95 per parcel:

    You would have to run it in reverse to pull the compost up.
