Presto Products Geobin Compost Bin - 246 Gallon, Expandable, Easy Assembly, Made in The USA, Outdoor & Backyard Composter

Bought a bunch of bins including the tumblers. They are all kind of a mess the doors are too small and they are cheaply made. These are simple and work great. If you mix your browns and greens you will have compost in no time. I didn’t have any problems with assembly, the clips they give you are plenty enough. Follow the directions and overlap the ends. I came back and purchased a second one. I simply use a fork and move the compost from one bin to the other for turning. I just move a little at a time weekly as part of my workout routine. I’m physically fit and this method is a workout for sure. I don’t have to pay for a gym membership and I get some really great compost.Came back to purchase a third one and decided to leave a review since these actually work very well. They stand well and give a clean look compared to a huge pile. They turn out some of the best compost I have made to date.

Easily the best composter on the market, and at the best price, and it is HUGE! Expanded to full size it will hold three big Waste Management yard waste bins full of leaves. That's a lot!Sets up easily, no stakes required. Just rake out a nice flat round area about 4 feet in diameter, make sure its level, and then pay attention as you fill so it comes out nice and round. Because while the material is plenty strong, its not very stiff and so relies on sitting on level ground and being filled evenly in order to hold a nice round shape.I've been composting more than 20 years now with a very similar but slightly smaller composter and the GeoBin is the only one I can find on the market like the one I have now. All the rest are overpriced and designed to sell but not work. The big key that will unlock massive fast rich composting is when you realize it can be a composter AND a worm bin. You don't even have to buy or add worms, the red wigglers will find their way in. Simply encourage them with regular additions of your kitchen greens waste and coffee grounds. I like to mix these with a little brown leaves and "bury" several inches to a foot under. Mix these in regularly and in time you will be amazed at the teeming worms.Then when you're ready to start another pile simply undo the GeoBin and set it up where you want the next pile. Be sure to move some of the wormiest stuff off the top of the old pile as they will really kick-start the new one. Wasted a lot of time and money and space on worm bins before I learned this simple trick.One small issue after using this for over a year now. There's way too many air holes. Its fine if you are able to fill the bin all at once with the right mix for fast hot composting. For most with normal size yards adding grass clippings etc more gradually there are too many holes. This allows the outside to dry out and dry does not compost. The solution is to put a layer of cardboard around the inside before filling. Then as it fills poke a few holes in the cardboard. The cardboard will hold moisture, prevent drying, and gradually compost down along with everything else. Otherwise you will have to be spraying the outside on a regular basis to keep it from going dry. Remember dry does not compost, damp does.
