      Comments about Big Bin Leaf Composter:

      I bought this for my mom's backyard. It's very easy to put yard scraps in it (grass clipping, leaves, etc) because of the large opening. Good air circulation and opening to the ground below seems to make the decomposition go very quickly.

          The rods are much too short and much too weak to support this bin - do yourself a favor and spend a little more money and get a metal and wood bin... you'll appreciate it more every season

              This is nice looking and holds a HUGE amount of leaves. I did need help setting it up, and we added more stakes. Four stakes just aren't enough. We also added zip-tie fasteners around the stakes for more stability. Once assembled and staked, it holds up well and wind won't blow it over. Also, this one costs less than others I have seen.

                I use this to store chopped up leaves for my compost bins. It is large and holds the leaves well, but I wish the "pins" holding it upright were not wood as I'm sure they'll rot with time. I wouldn't compost in this with the open bottom and top.

                I look forward to corralling all the leaves (many, many) in our yard and making useful mulch and compost out of them with this spacious and handsome leaf composter.

                Comments about Big Bin Leaf Composter:

                This is a simple inexpensive, large capacity composter. It is easy to set up and is perfect for leaves, grass clippings and kitchen scraps can be worked into it. Turning the compost may be difficult for some but I find it's not too necessary because there is so much aeration through the sides and top. It produced perfect compost. I even bought a second one so I can have one finishing while I am filling the second. No other composter can compete in price or capacity.

                  I run my leaves thru my leaf vacuum which breaks them up and causes them to compost faster. I like my first one so well I bought two more at your recent sale.

                  Comments about Big Bin Leaf Composter:

                  The heavy plastic panel are the right weight and construction but should be 1/3 longer for a bin diameter of four feet, the ideal size for a compost pile to heat up properly by protecting the bacteria from drying out or the pile to cool too quickly. The support system is too weak and I make a framework for the bin out of 4" concrete wire and then use this product as a liner. Now it stands on its own and is easy to slip up and off the pile, set to one side and the pile turned back into the bin making sure the outer leaves are turned into the center of the pile at each turning. Once a week is good exercise.
