Tools and Hardware Reviews of Outdoor BenchCustomer Review: deceiving description Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Composter details Summary: 3 Stars
The composer is plastic and easy to assemble if you are patient. The top doesn't lock on and can be blown off by a stiff wind. The plastic stakes aren't strong enough to keep it from being blown over so use steel rods or concrete blocks to hold it up. Other than that,it holds compost.
Customer Review: Good garden composter, but... Summary: 3 Stars
I've own this garden composter for about 5 years now. It is made of very good material but I wish I would have bought a tumbler instead. I gave it 3 stars because I lost the lid in a storm.
Customer Review: I'm replacing this with something different Summary: 2 Stars
I have had this unit for about 1 1/2 years and I'm now looking for a new one. This unit worked fine for the first year. Assembly was relatively easy and I've continuously filled it with a 50/50 combination of grass clippings/leaves and kitchen waste (no meat or oils). I requires more manual turning than I would like...getting a shovel or other implement inside is inconvenient (the doors on top are small, have flimsy hinges, and don't stay open by themselves, so you have to remove the entire top). With less turning it has attracted soldier flies, fruit flies, and rats (note: with the compost pile I used to use, I never had problems with these). The composting does take upward of 6 months to go from entering the top to coming out the door at the bottom. Getting the material out the bottom requires one to go in with a shovel and is difficult and messy. Finally after 1 1/2 years, the corners at the bottom where the door is connected have come undone and the entire unit is falling apart. As I said, it's time to get a new and different one. Perhaps with more work with turning of the material, the compost inside would be lighter (so the unit wouldn't have fallen apart) and it may not have attracted the pests it has, but I'm looking for something that requires less effort...time for a tumber type.
Customer Review: Disappointed Summary: 2 Stars
Quicky delivery of this produce and assembling was easy. Definitely a 4 star on how it fits in my yard. Doesn't take up a lot of room. Disappointed tho in the lid of this composter. It doesn't lock in. The two swinging doors on wach side of the lid have terrible hinges - very flimsy. The big problem? When you go over with your kitchen or yard scraps to dump in, the swinging door doesn't stay up. So you need a free hand to hold it open which can be a real pain if you have a heavy pail full or cumbersome yard scraps. Really not worth $99.
