Compost needs to be turned….if it’s on the ground it requires a shovel, pitch fork, something and a strong back every few days. Which for me, turned into every couple of weeks! This compost mixer was easy to put together and easy to use and easy to turn!! And with two sections, one can be composting while you can keep adding to the other! The stops for each drum are a bit flimsy so yo need to rock the drum a bit to balance at a stop point….but at this point I’m not sure they’re even necessary!?! I like it so far, I’ll see how it composts!!
