Now have two. Couldn't be more pleased.
5 Stars
Now have two. Couldn't be more pleased.
I now have two. I did a lot of research before buying the first one and nothing else even comes close in sturdiness and ease of use. My original (long!) 5-star review is below but here's what you need to know for a perfect bin:1. Install the metal aerator pipe with a 1" PVC pipe coupling (e.g., Lowe's P/N 50110) on each end (see brightest thing in photo) to make absolutely sure it will never come loose. This assembly fits tightly so expect to whittle a tiny amount of the black plastic from the two holes.2. When very hot outside, avoid storing heavy loads with the door panel downward -- too much strain on it.3. Assembly is manageable by 1 person except for 5-10 minutes -- to start 6 or so of the screws.4. Drill screw holes as perpendicularly as you can to the curved surfaces. I used my own drill bit (better quality).5. Finish the assembly somewhere where the unit will make it through your doorways (duh!).---- Original 5-Star Review ----I bought this after reading many reviews about it and competing models. Poor durability and build quality are recurring themes, but less so with this compost bin. After rejecting an all-metal bin due to cost, I got this one. I built it in maybe 3 h, and put it into use here in the hot Texas sun. Composting works well with almost no smell. I rotate the barrel every couple of days, it's not that hard even when full. As we came into summer, two problems arose: First, as mentioned in a review, the metal aerator tube became dislodged from its two end-holes and was just lying in the barrel. Second, on a really hot day with a quite full load, my morning rotation left the door side down. The >100° day and the weight of the load caused one of the door latches to pull partially from the plastic, which popped the door on that side dumping part of the load and leaving the door warped. Sounds bad, right? Not really. I was able to re-secure the door latch and, until the load finished composting, I just made sure to leave the door upwards after rotating. When I put the load in my garden, to put the aerator tube back in place, instead of disassembling most of the barrel to do so (as one reviewer did), I bought two female-to-female couplings (used to connect 1" PVC pipes (Lowe's P/N 50110), which can be pounded with a rubber mallet into the ends of the aerator tube, used a hack saw to cut 3/4" from one end of the tube, used a small knife to slightly enlarge the two holes that the tube fits into so the couplings fit through, fit the tube with a coupler on one end into one hole, then used the mallet to hammer the other coupling into the tube from the outside of the barrel. Good tight fit, won't come out. I reattached the door latch and, voila, good as new. I talked to the company during this experience and they were really (really!) responsive. I look forward to many compost loads out of this thing.
