Indoor-Outdoor Small Composter Bin - Kitchen Waste Container - Green Medium 59cm

I have two of these and I've just ordered a third. I chose it because it was smaller and cheaper than many other composter options. I've seen a few poor reviews, but I think they're down to the individuals not knowing how to compost or not using it as intended. I don't think it's meant to be picked up and carried around a lot. I cut holes in the bottom of mine for drainage and left it sitting on earth so that worms and microorganisms can make their way up inside, and they appear to be working a treat. If you're having problems with smells, add more brown waste over the top. If you're having problems with leakage, allow it to drain into the earth or into a tray beneath. It's natural that some water may seep out in the process, so just allow it to happen naturally; that same water can be poured back over the top to help keep your compost suitably moist.

I've been using this bag for about 6 months in my small garden. The composting is doing fine, but it helps to either leave the top open in the rain, or give the contents a light watering every few weeks. If you fill the bag up you'll notice the contents getting smaller as they begin to rot down, so will be heavy when only half full, so pick the location for the bag carefully so you don't need to move it. I need a few more months before I will remove the compost, but all going well so far.

Arrived quickly, easy to assemble, but when I filled with garden/vegetable waste to only about 1/4 full and tried to move the bag to another position, the handle ripped where it joins the body of the bag so it now has a hole. Insufficiently strong for being able to carry.

This is not a good substitute for an actual compost bin. I don't know how long it will actually last but it doesn't feel very sturdy. One of the handles has already torn off just by carrying it when it was around half full with kitchen waste. I'd say the use of this would specifically be when you want to store garden or kitchen waste short-term before moving it somewhere else. For example if you have a friend who has compost bins and you want to take over your waste once a month or something.It's not useless. If there's some particular reason you can't have a compost bin you could line a few of these up and merrily compost away. I think it will last at least a year if it's just sitting there. One star as a warning of its limited use. But if this use case is what you want, it'll do.

This is ideal for kitchen waste recycling and, as is not too large, it can be placed in an unobtrusive position whilst producing compost for the garden. Recommended.

I made a silly mistake & not read the size , it is ideal for a tiny garden with a 10ft sq lawn as the cuttings will fill it up after a couple of cuts. If its only for kitchen waste i.e peelings it would be perfect .I would also suggest to keep it in one place as the hadles are not strong and rip easily .

Good and compact as I do not have much space. I liked it so much I bought another.

A lot smaller than I thought it would be. There were no actual measurements on your site. Will have to see how long it last as it seems a bit flimsy. might work ok once I start to use it.
