Customer Review: Best composter so far
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used a number of composters over the last 13 years. This is the best so far, and coincidentally, the most inexpensive.
Strengths: fast composting, compared to my tumbling composter and another similar (closed box) design.
Easy to assemble and to add raw vegetation.
Contact with the ground seems to make a big difference, since it attracts earthworms. Also I believe the dark color helps a lot.
Plants near the composter do extraordinarily well.
Weaknesses: lots of work turning it. I find a garden fork works well, the specialized tools work fine but actually require a bit more effort (less time, more physical strength).
This composter has served me extremely well. Unfortunately, like I'm sure happens with all its competitors, time takes its toll on it. The lower pieces warp and degrade. By about year 10 (if in full sun) it needs replacing. I've cannibalized parts from 2 to make one but finally, at year 13, I need another. Which will be my 3rd Garden Gourmet, of 5 composters owned so far, including ones costing more than twice as much.
Regarding the review of the person who couldn't keep the lid open: she has a point. However, for large amounts of materials, I just take the entire top off. It's easy to do and I have to do this anyway to do a better job turning the compost. I'm actually surprised that reviewer hasn't figured this out herself. This top is much easier to remove than the openings of many other composters.
Regarding the person who mentioned occasional flies: just turning the compost should be sufficient. One need not always look for yard waste to cover kitchen scraps.
