Questions & Answers
If you have a long stick, you can use it to turn the compost every few days, which will speed up the process. Mia, I appreciate it.
When the juice is higher, it usually indicates that the composting process is off. You'll need to add more brown material to the mix. I hope it is of assistance to you. Mia, I appreciate it.
There are no bottoms on stationary compost bins. Purchase a roll of 1/2" hardware cloth from your local hardware store (heavier duty than chicken wire) and place it on top. Rodents are deterred, but earthworms are allowed in.
I didn't get any stakes, either, and I'm not sure if they're included. br>I simply leveled a spot on the ground, and by filling it, it will be stable and unaffected by the wind (make sure the cover is facing the prevailing winds).

I couldn't understand why other plastic composters' reviews mentioned screws and bolts, missing pieces, and assembly time when, guys, these are just plastic boxes? This one has been constructed in the manner that I had anticipated. Do you recall the "Little Tykes" dollhouses or something similar? Tabs are placed in slots and snap into place. It connects when you press down. The bottom door slides up and off rather than swinging open, so there's no problem there. Because I lack upper-body strength, I needed to use a hammer to snap the top swinging lid into place, but each piece of hinge only required one tap. Please keep in mind that the sides that appear to be louvered aren't actually louvered, but there appear to be enough aeration holes for composting. And now I have a place to put all of my grass and leaves!.
I'll get my use out of it until it falls apart, which it will eventually do. It's simple to put together, but it's not particularly thick or detailed. For added durability, I hammered in a few tent stakes, but this unit is extremely fragile. I'd say go ahead if you don't care about longevity or the fact that it'll be a permanent structure, but I have a feeling this unit won't last more than one cycle of good compost.
There's no bottom panel, so there's nothing to weigh it down! I'm afraid the first windstorm will destroy it. No way, I'm afraid. It was very simple to put together the other day. Let's just hope it doesn't fall apart in a gust of wind.
Oh my goodness, if I could get $75 or $80 for around $3, that would be amazing. I'd be able to prove the theorem that a fool is born every minute for $00 worth of the thinnest plastic available. Count me in; we bought this and it broke during assembly; what a terrible design; why don't they even try to put their own product together? Whoever designed the lid should be fired. There's no bottom, and it's so light that it'll blow away in the first gust of wind; there's no hamper, no way to turn the compost; there's no thought put into this product, let alone all the plastic wrap that comes with it; what an environmental disaster. no. . no. . I strongly advise you not to purchase this piece of garbage; I don't think it'll last more than one cycle, and if I could, I'd return it.
It was easy to put together, but once it was filled with existing compost material, the panels began to fall apart. It's a good size, and the lid "locks" when closed, but once it was filled, the lid wouldn't close properly because the sides were no longer in place. We have a critter that has learned to tunnel beneath it in order to get to the food scraps, so we're switching to a raised bin that we can turn. Hopefully, our small companion will be able to progress.
I've only put together the composter so far. Only pictures were provided instead of written instructions. If you buy this, pay close attention to the top. bottom. The back section of the image is reversed. A slanted connector can be found. It needs to be put in the right spot. It's very difficult to disassemble if it's put in the wrong place. The unit has no bottom, so keep that in mind. I'm going to build a raised base with a dropdown flap so I can dump the compost into a wheelbarrow. This will be secured with a latch to keep the compost contained until it is needed. The apparatus appears to be quite durable. strong enough to be used in the home on a regular basis. Because it has yet to be used, I only gave it four stars.
The bin isn't weighed down because it doesn't have a bottom. A 15 to 20 mile per hour wind blew the bin away from the placed area, so it should have a way to secure to the ground for the price. I would return the box as soon as possible if it was still in good condition.
I put everything together and stored it outside. And I followed all of the instructions to the letter. It blew apart in the north-east wind, as it was not strong enough to withstand the elements.
