This is a nice looking addition to the garden which every visitor comments on. It has produced very good compost once I learned the proper ratios and put enough browns in. Had it for nearly three years now and very pleased with it for the price. One of the lids hinges broke off at a weak spot on the wood, but was easy to fix. Can thoroughly recommend this, but sadly I am now abandoning this method of composting for a sealed composter as the open nature of this one finally attracted a family of rats. I will empty the wooden composter but leave it in place for storage as it looks so nice. Will hide away an ugly rat proof compost bin elsewhere in the garden.
