Easy to put together, nicely compact, and fun to use. I've been using this to compost kitchen and garden waste for some months now. Not only have I harvested a fair amount of solid material (does wonders with our rhubarb plants), but I also collect the leachate which drips out, and use this diluted as an effective (if pungent) liquid plant-food - I've saved a fortune buying tomato-feed this summer. The only slight downside is the cloud of fruitflies which appear when you open the drum on a warm day. Other than that, I think this is a brilliant and thoroughly practical item.
