Do you like your composter carol?,I've never used one but figured I would like to start using one...

Yes Tom, I do, I have a composter in my kitchen, that I use during the winter,if I have more than my worms can handle, I go throw the food scraps in the outside composter,I wish mine had a handle on it, for turing, it can get pretty heavy, turning it by hand, but it is worth it.I will never be with out one.

Looks like a good project. I find those tumbling composters interesting but there is no way they would be enough for the amount of compost that I make.

Beautiful hibiscus, Tom.

Nice, Tom, I hope it works well for you.

I use 2 Biostack compost bins and I love them. I've been using them for about 5 years with good results and they're easy to use. Much better than the old bin that I struggled with for so many years. I have no experience with a tumbler. I've read an awful lot of negative reviews of tumblers on the soil forum, so I've never been too tempted to try them. I'm sure that, like anything else in life, user input determines final outcome.

Nice! I wish I had someone handy like you in my family!

I have a tumbler - got it fairly inexpensively off craigslist. I'm a lazy composter, usually forget to turn it, don't fill it up all at once, etc., so it's not as quick as they advertise, but I just like the size of it and it does work more quickly than my garbage-can bins.

I might actually try turning it today for the first time this season, lol. Finally warming up a bit so maybe it's not still frozen...

Gee, you even made it decorative at the top! LOL! Nice job. Like I said, I wish I or someone around me were handy - would save me some money.

Have fun with your new composter!

Are you taking orders for one of these? :P
