Our No-Fuss Gardener's Supply Pyramid Composter is Built to Last

We’ve used dozens of composters over the years, and have incorporated all the features we like best into our Gardener's Supply Deluxe Pyramid Composter. The lid is hinged so you can open it with one hand, yet it can’t blow away. Narrow side vents ensure good ventilation. Two sliding doors, front and back, stay open to make removing compost easy. Best of all, the signature self-watering lid lets in the right amount of rainwater for optimum performance. Convenience and large capacity at a great low price!

        Comments about Deluxe Pyramid Composter:

        This would have been my first attempt at composting, and I was so eager to receive and start using my new compost bin. I am hugely disappointed to learn that my "deluxe composter" is poorly constructed. Specifically, my husband struggled for two hours to assemble it, but because the predrilled holes (for placing the screws to hold the bin together) were not aligned, he needed to force the holes close enough to allow the screws to go through. Doing this, however, meant the bin was not square and the door wouldn't operate properly, so I am forced to return the composter. This presents another hassle because the box is huge and heavy and I will need someone to help me haul it to a UPS store to ship it back. I expect top quality from Gardeners Supply products but this experience has been an enormous disappointment.

            Comments about Deluxe Pyramid Composter:

            This is vastly overpriced, for materials that cost maybe $15. The front and back doors can be pushed in easily by wild animals or fall open by themselves. I drove steel posts in to anchor the composter so it won't be pushed over. The little posts offered with the composter for a high price would be less secure. It is less of an eyesore than the fence we had before, so that is a plus. But so far we have not seen any compost or any separation as advertised. Maybe that feature will materialize and I will be happier with this.

              Great replacement for an improvised compost bin. I had very little trouble assembling it, and it makes my yard look a lot neater. I am going to really appreciate the doors at bottom to remove the finished compost.

              Comments about Deluxe Pyramid Composter:

              This sounded like a great idea, but we've been very disappointed in its performance. It's flimsy, as in the front slider/door won't stay on its tracks once the bin is filled (bulges out and pops the door off its too-shallow grooves), and a squirrel ate a hole through the lid quite easily in a few hours. So much for paying extra for the rodent screen on bottom. It composts s-l-o-w-l-y compared to a more shallow pile that can be easily aerated. Might be fine for leaves and grass clippings, but not for a kitchen/yard compost bin.

              Comments about Deluxe Pyramid Composter:

              I liked this composter so much I bought another one. Assembly of the first one went easily but I had a lot of trouble getting the lid on the second one. Once it's together it works very well. It keeps the raccoons and rodents out of the kitchen scraps and I can hardly keep it full, composting goes so quickly in warm weather.

              Seems to be working fine. Good to have drawers on bottom as I don't intend to roll anything over.

              Hope the materiel will hold up.

              This is an attractive and well-built composter. However, it is best used against a wall or building; when free-standing, the open lid can shut hard when you're adding waste, hurting your hand!
