back yard Compost Bin

Perfect for my fall and garden spring clean upwell built composter that is easy to assemble. It also can be easily moved if necessary. Finally it comes with straight forward instructions as to how to start composting and how best to compost and what not to compost.

Not very sturdy

I have had numerous compost bins over the years but this one seems a little flimsy. The weigh of the composting material gets heavy as it decomposes and this bin tends to separate a little at the seams .the door also seems to be pushed outward bowing it out at the bottom of the bin and off the track. I have had trouble with the door popping off as it gets full and heavy at the bottom requiring me to shovel the compost popping out into another bin in order to reclose the door. Not the sturdiest bin I have owned

Simple, sturdy and functional

I bought one of these compost bins to replace two slightly larger wood-slat bins that had deteriorated after a couple of decades of use. I liked this one so much that I bought a second one. The bin is easy to assemble, although it takes a few minutes to understand how to bend the lid slightly to attach the lid. These are also better than the previous bins in that they retain heat that\'s generated. The one disadvantage is that they don\'t naturally get rain water. The lid stays open upright (an advantage for adding to the bin), but readily falls down to cover the bin with a moderate wind or possibly squirrel activity. Instead of rigging up a prop of some sort, I just try to remember to water the pile periodically.

It\'s huge

I bought this for my mother as a gift. It really big for it\'s price. Great look was easy to assemble. For sturdiness, it definitely needs to be place on a level surface like pavement or pavers. It opens with ease but you need something to mix the compost around or vent the compost.

great product!

Great bin, sturdy, easy to put together and the door is convenient.

Great for composting

I bought this because I was tired of bagging the grass clippings. The product is a little flimsy but it does the job

Perfect!

I can\'t imagine something being easier to assemble. It took less than 10 minutes...literally. Everything about this compost bin is 5 stars; price, quality/durability, ease of assembly, even the appearance. I judge the durability based on the thickness of the plastic, which is much stronger than I thought it would be. So for me, it\'s actually better than expected. There is no bottom, which is good because we want worms to have access to the compost. The lid can be locked down tight or just semi-tight, which my wife prefers, so that she can easily open to add compost materials. We absolutely love it! I wouldn\'t hesitate to recommend this to others.

Easy to use composter

Works really well. Easy to add wasted food and a few accelerators make very good compost. The small door is very helpful in pulling out compost.

Great buy!

This is bigger than what I expected! Super easy to put it together! Now i can start my own compost! Should have get it sooner.

Love it

Convenient and super easy to put together

Great for composting

This makes compost easy. I put all my veggies and leaves in here. I will have an organic garden soon. The compost bin is a perfect size for me, not too big and I hope to fill it up quickly.

Great designed composter

This arrived quickly & was easy to assemble. Can not wait to get started composting.

Great for composting

Super easy to assemble and does the job

Perfect compost bin

Put together easily, just what I was looking for. Survived the first season and hopefully will survive the winter ahead. I will probably buy another so I can use one and have one working. The compost I got from this season was very nice and my garden thrived. The lid secures to the bin so it is more stable and keeps critters from getting in there. Easy to retrieve mature compost from the slide up door near the bottom of the front of the bin. It did what it was supposed to do.

wonderful gift

This was a gift and the recipient was thrilled, so easy to put together.

Bin

Easy to assemble and use so far.

Love this bin!!

I bouight another one of these after buying and assembling the first one. The "green door lock" will not keep out Raccoons who are after the egg shells. So I pounded in two 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 stakes in front of the green door to keep them out of the compost. Worked!! Love the bins . Super easy to put together--but not fragile. Recommended!

Exceeded expectations

For what I wanted, this is perfect. If you're expecting Fort Knox, you might not be happy. After reading some of the reviews, I was a bit worried about assembly, especially the lid; but it all went together in like 5 minutes. It's exactly what I needed. Very happy.

Lid flip

Been working fine. I can’t get lid to snap on hinge so the wind blows it off once in a while, but other than that it’s working perfectly.

works OK

The plastic is not very thick but seems to be fine for our backyard. Watch the YouTube to see how to assemble. I had to put rocks all around the bottom edges to keep out animals.
