Customer Reviews
My wife said "Wow, not as ugly as I was expecting"
I did a fair amount of website research and looking over product reviews, and one website claimed that the Enviro-Cycle was by far getting the most favorable reviews. I bought from Amazon, and I love this product, but I have only had it for about 2 weeks.
It says that it can only handle being 3/4 full, but I am near capacity already, and it is still spinning without difficulty (a little heavy, but works well). I also like the large capacity compost tea collector. It comes with no assembly required and you just have to remove the outer plugs to allow the tea to drain. It looks much better in my yard than the previous compost pile that was there. I live in DE so I do not know how it will do in a prolonged winter season, but it seems to be perfectly usable here.
The Enviro-cycle has a decent 7 cubic foot capacity which will take most of my yard clippings and daily food compost easily. I have a only a quarter acre lot, and still I could not use this composter alone for grass clippings. It has a fairly large opening up top and is easy to fill and fairly easy to empty if you don't overstuff it.
My main concern with compost has always been that as you are making nice rich compost, you are also adding new substrate. Because of this I like the concept of a double composter, but the ones I saw on-line were a little unsightly. I will therefore be buying another one of these so I can add compost to one bin for a few weeks, and then keep spinning it to make if all rich, while I fill the second one for the next few weeks. The composter is about 3 feet tall and 2.5 feet wide. In the end the two composters will cost me close to the price of most double composters and even less then many single composters.
Before I bought the second one, however, I had to make sure that it acceptable to my wife. In the end, she was pleased with this one. So much so, that I will be purchasing another one shortly.
great composter
If you want a composter that doesn't take a huge amount of space and looks pretty good in your garden this is it. It's easy to turn the barrel and its design lets you roll it over to the area that you need to use it. Moreover, you can make compost tea with the solution that drains into the bottom tray/tank. Its the most reasonably priced rotating composter I've found. Those stationary units you have to aerate yourself just don't cut it for me.
Easy composting
This composter has been excellent. It is great for easy access & smells. It rolls through the yard for helpful work after the compost is ready to be emptied. The only draw back I've found is turning it just isn't enough, you need to open it up sometimes & mix up & seperate its contents during the composting progress for better production.
