THE Growing 43 Gal Outdoor Compost Bin Tumbler for Backyard Garden, Green

Good quality product at a very good price. I thought the instructions were easy to follow and many videos are available on-line. I assembled mine on a table which makes the process much easier. It only goes together one way so it's easy to get it right. An extra pair of hands come in handy. Composting is like sour dough bread.... you need a little starter to get the process rolling. This compost bin is just the right size for us and the doors open easily and are large enough to use. Turns easily. Very happy with this product.

Good size, seems durable. I purchased two. I am pleased with the way I can just spin rotate the bins without using a crank. Easy to assemble, easy to fill. No leakage. When it rains these bins are not affected ... they are rain-proof .... properly sealed. I am looking forward to my fully matured compost. My container garden will thrive. I would definitely purchase these compost bins again!

It was easier to set up than I expected after reading the previous reviews. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, it seems to be pretty heavy duty and should last a good long while. It looks nice and spins well, and the dual chambers both hold a good amount of compost. I am happy with my purchase.

Good product. Well packed and included easy to follow instructions and small screwdriver. Also came with basic composting instructions. Easy to assemble. Confused that some had trouble with assembly. I thought I might need my husband to help hold parts but they locked into place and I easily did this alone. The built-in nuts for the screws made it much easier. I took my time fiddling around and drinking coffee and took about an hour to assemble it and place in the garden. Getting all the screws into place is the time-consuming part. Looks like it will last. Can't wait to see what kind of compost I get. This is for small amounts, not for large piles of compost. I recommend it for small backyard gardens.

I’ve always wanted a composter like this and finally broke down and bought this one when I moved. At first, I was frustrated while putting it together. I quickly got the hang of it, but it is a touch tricky when doing it by yourself. You feel like you need to grow at least three more hands. I have fun setting aside veggie peels, fruit trimmings and coffee grounds. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it came with a little guide on both green and brown compost. I’ve started both, as it comes with two separate sides. Be prepared for a wave of fruit flies and the smell of everything breaking down whenever you open the green side. I give it a quick tumble every time I take out the garbage. I’m looking forward to my first bit of soil from it.

Seems to do the job reasonably well. I like the two-chamber setup. There are really only two negatives that I've found, now that it's put together (putting it together was not very easy), and those two negatives are that the doors are perhaps too small to be very useful in removing the compost and once it is relatively full, it becomes VERY difficult to turn (there is no handle for turning). The door size is fine for dumping in, but you're going to be shoveling out with a small hand trowel rather than a shovel, so it will be slow going. And if I bought another compost bin, I would definitely get one with a handle to turn it.

I was surprised at the smallish box this thing came in! But, the pieces come together to form a sturdy compost tumbler! It doesn’t take long to assemble; extra hands help but aren’t essential. It came with a thermometer (expected), but I somehow missed the gloves and two grow bags—nice surprises. We’ve not used it yet, but I know it’ll function as it should and be durable. The stand is strong, and the plastic pieces all fit together perfectly. The instructions were easy to follow.

I am not one to write reviews, but this thing pissed me off. Truly the worst product I have ever had the displeasure of trying to put together. Some of the pieces were completely misaligned, meaning there was no way in hell that I could screw them together. The instructions lacked hardly any information or clarity. Sure, it was nice of them to include two grow bags and a pair of gloves, and some information pamphlets, BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY THING GOOD ABOUT IT! The metal bits that lock together aren’t stable at all either, and have way too much give. I have a feeling that if everything put together perfectly, a full compost bin would have fallen over. I spent at least two hours working on this, swearing up a storm, and truly felt stupid. Do not buy this product, you will want to pull your hair out.
