Customer Reviews

Doesn't get much cheaper for a store bought bin
I have a couple of these. I think I paid ~ $10 a piece for mine, but I bought them a couple of years ago and I didn't buy them through Amazon. Anyway, these work great and last. Mine have held up.

I periodically turn the whole pile by lifting the bin up, off of the pile and setting the bin back down next to it. Then I fork/shovel (depending on how composted everything is getting) the pile into the bin again and what was on top is now on the bottom and vice versa. Very simple.

Better than expected
These bins are *much* larger than they look in the picture as they are expandable up to three feet across. To keep them from falling in, they do require a stake or two when fully expanded, particularly when placed on slanted ground, but I thought that was a reasonable expectation for the flexibility of the product. I like that they are open on the top to allow rain to enter and have holes on the sides for ventilation. We have a lot of leaves and grass clippings and are very happy with the amount we can fit in each bin.

Cheap is best
All compost bins work pretty much the same so the least expensive ones are the best. These bins, however, can be attached end to end to form a double or triple sized bins for really serious organic growers like me.
