Composter - too good to be true?
« on: June 07, 2010, 11:47:01 »
A search for this on the forum didn't bring up any results, but I came across this on the 'net.

Is this the answer to all our composting problems, or is it just another gimmicky rotating composter?

Rotating composters are good - they save a lot of digging out/refilling your heap, but at a whopping £300  :o , I'd go for a £5 fork everytime.

In short......YES!

I've seen similar examples and not convinced they are much better than a decent compost heap.  One worry I have, is that you need a good volume of organic matter to generate the heat required for the material to breakdown & these things don't hold that much.

I will stick to my three bay rotation system.

I liked the bit that said "you don't need a garden to use it "  ugh?
