4.0 out of 5 stars Not fast, but Good, July 3, 2008

This review is from: Outdoor Bench

I purchased the Garden Gourmet Compost bin a couple of years ago. It assembled quickly and fit neatly in the corner of my backyard. And I have used it ever since.

At first I was not pleased with my results. This was because I did not follow the instructions. For best results, you have to turn the compost at least once a week. Keep it moist. Mix in any clippings that you add in. That kind of stuff.

Last fall, I packed it solid with garden, yard and kitchen waste. I turned it. Kept it going and this spring I was rewarded with almost a wheelbarrow full of compost, which I used in my garden.

This is not a two week composting system. It takes time and attention for it to work best. But, not a lot of attention. I use a garden claw and a trench shovel to keep things mixed and compost starter to get things going. I've composted, fireplace ashes, shedded paper, garden waste, kitchen waste and lawn clippings. It composts all of it just fine.

This was a good buy on my part. I am very pleased with the results I am now getting. If I had, I would buy it again. It's not fast. But, It's Good. It works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Garden Gourmet Composter, June 26, 2008

So far this season, this product is working out great for us. It was easy to put together and the top locks on and stays on well. It looks inconspicuous in the corner of my suburban backyard and the kids are thrilled with it. We do have some flies, but only because I'm not consistent about covering the food scraps with yard waste or other "brown" materials. The door definately needs to be lubricated to open and shut well.

4.0 out of 5 stars deceiving description, May 25, 2007

Very easy to assemble. However, I am disappointed that "it no longer comes w/a wire mesh floor" as described. I have been advised to get a galvanized screen from the hardware store.
