 Experienced composter says "this doesn't work" November 17, 2009

I have been composting for years with excellent results using a standard open top bin. I wanted to like this product due to the fact that I would not have to manually turn the compost with a shovel, and could scoop out what I needed into a bucket. I also liked the enclosure to keep pests out. Unfortunatley, I could not get this to work. I think it is the fact that the contents do not get enough air, the compost stays too wet, and it does not break down fast enough. All I got was sulfur smelling goo. My traditional bin next to it is filled with a black, coffee ground-like compost filled with fat healthy worms... I am going to try to use this item as a "keeping bin" to store my already broken down and screened compost from my other bin. If you are new to composting, this item is not for you. Also, I am leery about how long the aluminum legs are going to last on this thing...I would say this item was a waste of time and money....
Good composter for the purpose I have in mind November 10, 2009

I chose this composter because it was mostly plastic and easy to handle for its size. I read previous reviewers say they had some difficulty in attaching the stand to the main body of the composter with only one person putting it together. I found that if you lay the body of the composter on the ground and attach the stand that way, it was quite easy to do. Plus, I used the body like the front wheel of a wheel-barrow to move it around. Other suggestions I found useful were coating the sliding door opening with oil/grease for easy sliding, and adding some manure and/or scoops of soil to speed up the composting process.
I started my first batch in late October 2009 and it seems to be processing okay (although a bit slowly due to the cold weather and I expected that). If I get a batch before winter gets here, I'm happy with that.
 Easy composting November 3, 2009

Initially this horizontal composter was not the easiest to assemble. But aside from that it's been a dream. I like the slide door which makes for easy add to's as well as emptying the drum. Highly recommend it if you're into composting.
It is a good composter with a few caviats October 28, 2009

First of all, I found that rain seeps into the composter if you leave the opening pointing upward. Too much water can make the whole composting process go anaerobic, so it will smell like human feces, or pickles and composting will take much longer.
Second problem with the composter is that it will come without tools to put together. It is easy enough to put together, but would it have been too much to ask for a small wrench and an allankey for the bolts?
I bought this composter a month ago to compost bedding from the cage of my two rabbits. I made a mistake of using too much water so the whole thing went anaerobic and started smelling. I also bought second composter because I will need a second one while the first one is cooking. I have not emptied the composter yet, but I have a feeling it might be a challenge. I will need some kind of a crate that is low enough to fit under the composter (to dump compost) but big enough to hold all of the compost.

We did have a problem with the frame...it was very crooked, but we were able to straighten and then put it together. Havent really set it up yet due to illness but looking forward to it.
