4.0 out of 5 stars Composting made easy, July 25, 2008

By	L. Collier "Detailed librarian" (El Paso, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought a composting bin a number of years ago, completely oblivious to what is involved in composting. Toss stuff in and it "magically" turns to compost. Wrong! Compost has to be turned, I later learned. So the bin was emptied and has been sitting in my backyard for quite some time as it does not facilitate easily turning the compost (or turning it at all for that matter). I came across turning, tumbling, and spinning composters and selected this one. I transferred the stuff I had been tossing in a trash can (in hopes of the "magic" happening) into this composter. Wow! One week later, and it looks and smells wonderful! It still has a ways to go, and I still have more learning to do on the subject, but this composter has made the job very easy--almost not a "job" at all! I will more than likely continue composting for years to come because this composter makes it so simple and clean.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome composter, August 28, 2008

By	Corinne Pelletier (Danielson, CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Being a composting fan I did alot of research on composting tumblers. The Achla fits into my scheme perfectly. We are in the process of renewing some very poor soil and this composter has already provided 2 loads of much needed compost for our small garden in 6 weeks...now if they could just do something about the weather......

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and affordable spinning composter, June 24, 2008

By	S. Starke (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my first step into composting so I can't vouch for the output yet.

This is the best price I've seen for a spinning composter. It's pretty solid and I was able to put it together myself in about 15 minutes (just needed a wrench and a screwdriver). A second person might be handy when attaching the composter to the legs.

The door slides easily but is also a snug fit and the composter is easy to spin. It's made of pretty solid plastic with little airholes punched througout. Inner ridges and the spinning bar help break stuff up.

When this one fills up we'll probably order a second one so the first can finish its work.
