Comments about Back Porch Compost Tumbler:
We haven't harvested our first batch yet but it's only 40 degrees out. We can tell things are working and add fruit, veg, and coffee scrap almost every day will let you know how it comes out in the spring. The wifes the gardener I just do what I'm told. (most of the time.)

Comments about Back Porch Compost Tumbler:
I ordered this composter because I have a small yard and it was portable. I mainly put in kitchen scraps and having a place to compost them is good. However, the drain gets clogged so the compost is too wet most of the time even if I leave the lid open some times. Therefore it takes forever to make compost.

Comments about Back Porch Compost Tumbler:
We traveled 2 hours to view this composter. It was unavailable. I questioned using it on a back porch or patio because of seams which would surely leak. The sales person assured me that it would not leak - well it does. All the wonderful juices seep out drawing stench, bugs, and sticky mess. I would like to return it but unable to get a driver and the postage would be steep. Beside the leaking, its a very limited system. Only a small amount of compost will be created each season in the unit, it is not quick, and as other customers noted, you can't keep adding to it. I love my garden supply products and buy many. This one however is a very expensive disappointment and I still don't have a composter that I can keep near the house. It certainly should not be called a back porch composter.

- Composts Quickly
- Easy Assembly
- EASY to use
- Odor Free
Cons
- Collects rain in indents
- Heavy turning when full
Best Uses
- Fruit Rinds

Comments about Back Porch Compost Tumbler:
The assembly was very easy. The volume will not allow for very high temperature development hence no weed seed or pathogen degredation is expected. I just started the first batch so we'll see what happens?

Comments about Back Porch Compost Tumbler:
It was fairly easy for me to put it together. Previously I would just dig a deeper hole in the existing garden and put my scraps there. I understand rotting compost in the garden encourages the good nematodes. I should probably add soil to the mixture in the container then?
