I inherited one of these with my new garden and it makes compost much quicker than my conventional slatted ones. I have a lot of composting to do so use a - I forget what its called - but starts the composting process, called Garotta?
I wish I had got two but only had limited space in the car.
Flowers and fidget - I think it might have even been just our store because I couldn't find it online later today. I couldn't believe it when I saw the price. Maybe trying to offload gardening stuff with September approaching?
Ann - yes its used I think if you don't have the right balance between green and brown material.
Funnily enough when I needed to clear a space for it, I had to pull out a load of dumped garden waste which had been there for too long. And there already was well rotted compost
I suppose I did flowers Could I ask being new to composting, do you guys wet the ingredients as you add them? Probably a daft question as vegetation gets rained on doesn't it
I don't, just bung them in but often things are naturally a bit damp. I do however dampen the leaves in my leaf mulch bags and give them a shake now and then ready to use in the autumn.

Very nice....good price too. Bet you can't wait to get peeling, shredding, chopping, deadheading, mowing and....................
Get another one at that price. You'll soon fill it.

Yes Anne it is Garotta, I use it in mine and in my leaf mulch bags, really helps to get things started.
