Customer Reviews

It works eventually
I bought one of these three years ago and a second one two years ago. I have turned out approx. 100 lbs of compost from kitchen scraps in three years. Pretty expensive fertilizer, but good karma. The bins that catch the liquids hold a couple of gallons and it makes 20 or 30 gallons of really dark tea, the plants go wild. These units get pretty hard to turn when they are full and if your mix gets too wet it will roll the compost into compacted balls of all sizes that will need to be broken up by hand.
Until I got the second one the problem I had was that I was always adding more so it never could cook out and finish composting. Even after I had two it was hard to keep somebody from throwing fresh garbage into the bin that was almost ready. They are virtually indestructible and both of mine are still like new.

Not worth your money 2
The concept is ok, but like the 4 star (huh?) review says, you need 2 of them to do it with out running into mixing fresh garbage into compost which you can never get to use without throwing fresh garbage into your garden. If they sold buy one, get one half off it might be worth it, but I would recommend one that works from the top down or just two cheap containers Garden Composter - Made from 100% Recycled Plastic

Too Messy
We've had this compost bin for a couple of years and I really dislike it. I can't roll it without getting compost juice all over my hands. Plus Black Widows like to live in the bottom of it, so if I don't touch it for a week or more, they will definitely come out when I roll it. Gloves are a must. I much prefer our other compost bin, which is a standard square black plastic bin. I can use a pitch fork to mix everything together without gloves and black widows. I find the rolling bin difficult to empty as well, it is awkward to roll across the yard and the smaller opening doesn't allow for a shovel to fit in easily or for the contents to come out easily simply by rolling it. Again I prefer to load up the wheel barrow from the square composter. The compost juice in the bottom is nice, but I won't touch it because of the Black widows...so my husband empties it. But as far as I can tell the compost comes out fine in both types.
