Product Description

Please welcome the 7 cubic foot Compost Wizard Jr. This little guy is the scaled down version of its 12 cubic foot kin. The Jr. holds 7 cubic feet of compost and sits on a wheeled base. The handles now provide better grip to make turning even easier. The 12-inch twist off lid keeps your compost safely closed off but is easy to remove and even doubles as an extra turning point. The ends feature aeration holes which provide much needed airflow for the compost batch with the option of drilling more for those who live in areas with low air currents. The wheeled base allows owners to turn the bin effortlessly and can easily be separated to allow the bin to roll freely from place to place. The low profile ensures that it stays out of sight and won't be blown over in high winds like other tumbler composters. The resin material used to mold the bin is 100% recycled and the rich dark color absorbs the sun's heat keeping your compost at a nice hot temperature. Comes fully assembled and requires little maintenance. Just turn once a week and after addition of new material and you can see compost in as little as 14 days. Help keep organic waste out of our landfills by getting a Compost Wizard Jr. today.

3.0 out of 5 stars good product with one big problem, February 17, 2011

This is a pretty good household composter. However, there is one big problem with it. When it rains, water accumulates on the base - there is no drainage. We recently had a warm snap and when I lifted the barrel off the base several mosquitos flew out. I drilled a couple of holes into the base so water can escape. It seems like the manufacturer should have thought about this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Composter, October 30, 2010

We have had this composter for about 2 months. It is a well constructed easy to use composter which meets the annual needs for small amounts of daily compost. We do a great deal of cooking with fresh ingredients and generate a larger amount of organic waste than this unit will handle so we will eventually get a second unit. We probably should have purchased the larger unit but I thought I was being conservative on spending the money. In the end I think any serious family will need two (2) compost units regardless or brand or design. One to let finish composting in progress without adding more fresh material, and one to start a new set of compost while the previous one completes it's cycle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good but not great, September 7, 2010

This is fairly easy to turn, nice large screw top opening, nice dimensions, good color, made from recycled plastic. Problem is the ventilation holes drilled into the sides are too "low" so that water drips out with only 1/2" or so of water, so hard to keep the compost moist in my dry climate w/o wetting every day, something I cannot do with my travel schedule--need to water once a week and forget. Also, the lid gets caked up with food scraps--be nice if it were designed to not have the food sit on top of the lid when spun so the lid is at the bottom.

These are small changes that will make this very good composter better.
