Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This meets our need to run a mulch pile to degrade organic scraps and improve our Missouri clay soil. Our previous bin had only one compartment & had to be shoveled out to turn over.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

this thing was TOUGH to put together, it comes with rings that one has to thread thru the wires and twist to hold the sides together, if one has arthritic hands, FORGET IT, i needed pliers to pull those things thru.
but once it was assembled, it blends nice with the yard, and does hold quite a bit of grass clippings and leaves.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I have a small vegetable garden/large yard; this compost bin is excellent for recyling organic material which can then be used to improve the soil in the garden.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We started with one and now we are using 3 of these. I have all the little old ladies in church using the bio bages and kitchen crocks. They are producing scraps faster than I can compost!!!!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I tried to rig my own chicken wire thing, but it wasn't sturdy enough. I have a small urban garden, so multiple bins aren't possible. All my kitchen scraps go in there, and b/c there aren't many leaves in my neighborhood, the worms have colonized it -- even better, actually. I turn the stuff over gently every now and then and harvest the compost and castings.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Made 3 sided bins, and ended up with 4 instead of 3, with one panel left over. Now I can have several piles of compost 'cooking' at any given time :)

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This composter didn't come with any instructions and my husband and I spent several hours trying to figure out how to attach the screws that hold the piece together. When we figured it out, we felt stupid. Why can't you put in an explanation sheet?

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

green color blends easy.Very easy to use.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I love the simplicity of this composter and have ended up buying three this year. I bought an earlier version years ago which I still use. The earlier design is easily and quickly assembled by threading a rod down through rings in the sides. The new design uses small springs which are too much of a struggle for me. I dispense with them altogether and use wire ties to hold the sides together.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I have many trees in my yard and I hate putting them out on the curb for trash pick-up. It creates wonderful compost.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is the second wire bin composter I've purchased. I loved the first one so much that I had to order another so that I can have two compost bins going at once. I do recommend ordering the cover to go with the bin as it helps keep smaller leaves inside the bin and gives the composter an overall neater appearance. However, I didn't put the cover on my first bin until I had filled it all the way up with layers of leaves and kitchen scraps. I am going to start a new compost pile in the new bin so that I will always have a bin to add to. My first bin, which was set up last spring and added to throughout the spring, summer and fall, is now full of nearly finished compost. I've started layering in leaves saved from the fall and kitchen scraps into the new bin. Now I kind of wish I had just bought the three bin system, but I'm new to gardening and didn't know how much I'd like composting when I purchased my original bin.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Easy to assemble, not as unattractive as others

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We have a large amount of leaves. They are easy to use and quick to put together.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Why pay more? It may not look so great, but it works perfectly. The only disadvantage is that it's a lot of work to turn the compost, but one of the reasons I garden is the mindless physical labor. Make sure to get two -- one to throw stuff in and one to cook.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The bins are placed behind beds to facilitate collection of plant material during the growing season. The lightweight empty bins can be grouped together or moved separately to locations within the yard. The open design facilitates the decomposition. The size and affordability makes this product appealing to gardeners of all ages and means.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We bought this so we would have more room to put all of the leaves that fall at our house. So far we have been able to put a lot in the bins. Have not seen anything compost yet as we just got it but it was a good purchase. Pretty simple product which could probably be made on your own if you are handy. Overall, we are happy.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is the third wire bin composter I've bought. I needed another bin to get me through the winter. I was tempted to just put one together with chicken wire, but this bin is sturdier, more attractive and much easier to assemble and use. No muss, no fuss, and it's nice enough to keep close to the house. Aeration is not a problem, and odors can be avoided by keeping your greens and browns balanced. When it's time to turn the compost, I take the bin apart and set it up next to the pile, then fork everything back in.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

INSTRUCTION NOT CLEAR AND ASSEMBLY WAS TRICKY

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Very easy to assemble, unobtrusive in the garden/yard area, will hold a season's leaves.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We will use the three bin wire composter for our new leaf composting!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Underlying metal could be stiffer and coating thicker.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

It took me an hour to figure how to put the clips on. A simple diagram would have been a big help!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Our city canceled leaf pick up this year, so this will be our first year trying to compost. We wanted a simple solution, so we thought we'd try this. Easy to assemble. It was filled immediately so we've not found the need to secure it to ground - is stable. We placed the 3-bin unit directly over our raised bed garden (same dimensions), and we've filled all 3. Adding Super Hot - but temps are already in 30's. We'll see... I'll save the follow up review of Super Hot!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Sturdy wire container for leaves. Wear gloves when assemblying, as it is difficult to pass the wire coils, which hold the container together, around the frame. Otherwise, very useful for holding leaves to add to composters. Reduces use of plastic bags, etc. for leaf storage.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Easy to set up. I'm a little concerned about having to turn over the compost, but it shouldn't be too hard to remove the fronts. I'm loving having my compost contained rather than in an expanding pile. It's big, but I think we'll need a second one to deal with all our leaves.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is the third one I've bought! I love these composters! They are very simple to put together, that even a 5 year old could do it! They work pretty well, can store all my leaves, grass clippings, food scraps, etc.
The only con is that it's hard to turn the compost, but if you leave the coils off one side in front (so that it'll swing open like a door) then it's easier to do. You have to have a way to secure the door in the meantime though. I use a strong bendable wire tie or 3 to secure the "door". That way I can just untwist the ties and open the door to fork the compost out to turn.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We use this product to recycle yard waste. I looked around and the three bin system is the best you can buy for yard waste. The only negative is that it is difficult to aerate so it takes a little longer to composte.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is a great way to make your own mulch and save. Leaf mold is the BEST stuff for beds and this device not only keeps the leaves in one place but reminds me to fill it. I bought two because I have the room but I think every serious gardener should have one. A great product.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

On the recommendation of a member, our garden club chose your composter for the Town Garden which we maintain. We wanted to encourage other townspeople to begin composting. Your bins are easy, convenient and visually "acceptable" in a public place. We took the info on composting from your website and have it available in a baggie on the bin for people to take home. (We gave you credit!)Thanks.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This wire composter is not heavy duty enough! The spiral connectors are impossible to get on without scraping all the paint/rubberized protection off of the wire. Thus, I have resorted to using it as a temporary fence to protect my garlic from being trampled/damaged by deer and connecting the panels together with plastic ties. The connector issue is problematic and needs to be addressed. I am sure there are other alternatives to connect these panels.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I have had this for about three years and love it. My only recommendation is to forget the use of the wire clips that come with the product to connect the bins together. I tried other solutions and finally arrived at using plastic cable ties to connect them. They work great, don't rust and can be easily cut off and retied.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I thought it was pretty easy to assemble. I'm not sure how much compost I'll get out of it, but I'm feeding it leaves every chance I get.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

all in all it went together fast,wish it was bigger and stiffer

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Needed better alternative to raking and bagging!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is nice looking and can be easily stored if the need arises. The pieces are held together with large metal coils that rotate on. I had trouble with this method on the middle sections but I eventually got it. Overall a very good product.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

It would be great if a package of compost starter came with the composters.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I liked the stakes that were formerly used for the corner closure better than the spirals that are now used. I find the spirals hard to put on and take off.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I almost didn't order these bins because of the conflicting reviews about setting them up. A lot of reviews said that set up was easy but the reviews against the set up were pretty strong. So, for the record, SET UP COULD NOT BE EASIER!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Looks great in the garden; handy to use

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We have the 3-bin wire composter. It was extremely easy to set up and only took a few minutes to assemble. I have it placed in our backyard, and it is nearly invisible from both our house and our backyard neighbor's house. We use it for grass clippings and will use it for leaves this fall. There are a couple of drawbacks with the wire composter. First, some of the grass clippings tend to fall through the wire mesh, and I'm guessing smaller leaves will also filter through. The bulk of the material is contained, however . The other issue is that there is no easy way to access the composted material from below. As we have just begun using it, I haven't needed to figure out a way to do this. Overall, I'm happy with the wire bin system. It is a good way to contain lawn waste instead of the big, unsightly pile we had before. I feel that the positive attributes outweigh the drawbacks and I am pleased with my purchase.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I've had one of these for a few years and am about to buy another one to store more stuff as my garden has expanded.

The sharp coils for fastening are somewhat scary and make opening a side to turn the compost a chore. I've just had a thought, which is to use the plastic clothespins I use to attach tomato cages to one another to replace the wire coils.

I live in a high wind area, and have had no trouble with the bin and wind. I bought the extra wire cover for the top and never needed it and eventually threw that out. It has always been stable, even when critters pull out goodies like corn cobs. They can get to those through the edges where the sides join. They're welcome to them.

It's also a lot more attractive than the expensive plastic bins.

Aside from the wire coils (what were they thinking) this is a fine, inexpensive solution.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Easy to assemble and move. I like the large capacity and the 3 separate bins.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Bin composter serves my purpose very well. It is simple to assemble and easy to move if necessary. Composting is not a complicated operation and this simple container works very well.

I would say that the only drawback is that it is a little flimsy but for the price not a bad deal.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

My friend and I both wanted to begin composting but weren't ready to spend a fortune. This composter was able to be attached to my chain link fence (I have a dogrun) to create 2 different bins and also formed together to make another bin for my friend who needed a lid. The spiral connectors weren't quick to use but they are durable and versatile. To experiment with the shape I wanted before using the spirals, I used twist ties. I have stopped setting my yard waste at the curb.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I originally purchased the three bin set for composting purposes. I have since re-purposed them to surround my small (6x12) vegetable garden. I have also used metal binder clips on one panel so that i have easy access to the garden.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is a great basic composter for someone who has a large volume of yard waste. (I got the three-bin set.) No bells and whistles, just an easy to set up system. You shouldn't put food scraps in it unless you have it well away from the house -- it is open to all sized rodents. Another tip -- I used the coils that come with the composter to set it up, but then removed them along one edge of each front section so that I can swing the front open like a gate. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to turn the pile and dig out finished compost.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The product is very useful. I specifically purchased two of these bins to cover tree stumps while composting at the same time. With the leaves and garden materials placed inside the bin, the tree stumps are not visible. Serves a dual purpose. The wire connectors are difficult ot use and make assembly a nightmare. I had to purchase other materials to connect the panels. I am disappointed with this aspect of the bins.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The only thing I didn't like about it was that the only way you can get into the compost pile easily is to leave some of the panels open. It hurts my back leaning over.

The bin is very sturdy and will last many years. With the color green you can't see it very easily.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I am so glad I got this. It looks great where I have it; the color green blends in nicely. It was easy to put together once I got the hang of the dealy-bobby thing.
I only have space for one of these, but if I were going to make any recommendations, I would recommend that someone buy at LEAST two, minimum; if not the three shown. I really wish I had room for a second one, but I don't.
The only other 'con' that I have is that the holes are a little big. So, when I'm stirring the mixture of leaves and grass clippings, it falls through the holes!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I don't know who in Mexico (believe that is where this was made) came up with the idea of the spiral connectors, but they do NOT work well at all. After several tries, many deep breaths, I gave up with them and resorted to heavy duty floral wire...of course, this took me over an hour to put together, because I had to individually wired each section and then put them together. Basically, I paid for some wire panels. RE-THINK your assembly process please.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I don't think I shred things enough so it didn't compost fast. I noticed some melon seeds germinated and grew to maturity without rabbits or other critters getting them so used a couple on my raised garden. So far it is working.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Fit into a very akward corner of the yard
Took a little while to figure out how to attach the coils

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

What a great way to keep those compost piles neat and tidy, I had one very worn out bin similar to yours. This was not enough to handle our garden and yard waste. The 3 bin system was easy to assemble, and provides much better aeration than the piles that I had previously. Thank you!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is my second purchase for this. After using the first one we were so impressed that we decided we needed another. Amazing how much it will hold and how well it works!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Barely noticeable, almost invisible where I set them up. Easy to scoop up leaves, then grind them with a week wacker.

I was having difficulty setting them up, but my 10 year old grandson did each one in under 5 minutes.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I should have read the dimension more carefully .. smaller than I was expecting

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Takes a little time to assemble but not too bad.
Holds more leaves than I thought.
Great product.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I have a homemade 3-bin system at home that works great for the continual additions over the season. I anticiapate this product will accomplish the task, be easy for many community gardeners to access and help to keep the garden area attractive.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

this looked like a great product, and I am a big fan of Gardeners Supply. However, the coil assembly is near impossible! I am several weeks in and have yet to figure it out.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I have always wanted to have a compost bin. I hate the idea of throwing out kitchen scraps and putting leaves on the trash pile, but I didn't want an untidy pile in the corner of the yard. I was disheartened to find that most compost bins available for sale are very expensive. I could not afford to spend $200 on a bin. This bin was the only bin I found in my budget and I have not been disappointed with this low-cost solution. This bin is very easy to assemble, although I took the advice of other reviewers and did not use the metal corkscrew things to assemble the bin. I used those plastic cable tie things and they worked great. I also recommend getting the Extra Tall Earth Staples to really secure your bin to the ground. My bin is already about halfway full and I am planning to order a second bin soon. This bin really gives your compost a tidy appearance, without breaking the bank!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I can't comment yet on how well this compost bin turns yard and kitchen waste into compost, but I did love how easily it set up and how much it can hold. I've got leaves in one bin and whenever I add kitchen waste to another bin i dump in a few handfulls of leaves to get the right mix of brown and green.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is so easy to assemble and to move and store. I use one for compost, another for a "holding area" for pets so they can move around outside in an enclosed area. It is great to open up and use to keep pets away from specific areas, or to keep outside toys in when children are around.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Excellent for corralling all those fall leaves, but I have too many leaves! I'm planning to buy another.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

While this is good for holding products for composting, because it doesn't include an "opening" on the side, it is difficult to transfer product from one bin to another. To do that, I must tip the whole thing over.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is a great, cheap way to compost a lot of material, but you need to turn or aerate the compost. Otherwise it will be slow, slimy, and smelly.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

It was easy to put together, and is attractive on the perimeter of my yard.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is just the right size for a kitchen garden. We rotate our lawn cuttings and leaves with food scraps and it is working well.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I didn't read the description carefully and thought that I was getting three separate bins. They connect and it was difficult to figure out with the hardware included how to connect the bins in the middle together and have it stable enough. Going to the website and reading the PDF file helped some. Have just started using them so do not know how effective they will be yet. I am using them mainly for leaves.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

It provides a place for vegatable scraps beside the trast and it contains leaves from the yard.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

It makes it easy to turn leaves and clippings into compost.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I have purchased a second bin. The first held up to some abuse with the majority of what I wanted to stay in it staying there

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I love these.They look nice. Easy to assemble. Easy to move around. I have a set of 3. One is for anything that will compost, the second is for branches and twigs that I will chip for mulch and the third is for stuff that I remove from my flowerbeds that I won't mix with my composting. I will be getting another set for the other side of the house for the neighbors leaves. More free mulch.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Although I've been gardening for a few years (about 5 or 6) this is the first time I am starting a "compost" bin. I'm actually just starting out with composting just shredded oak leaves to make leaf mold. Maybe if all goes well with that I may venture into doing more such as composting kitchen scraps, grass clippings, etc. But, for now this is a great start, and the wire bin was so easy to assemble and is just what I needed.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

These are awesome! I have had them for almost a year. They were easy to assemble. They stay in place with the help of the stakes. I can easily move them and reassemble them again. I use one for branches and sticks that I pick up out of the yard for chipping. I use one for putting weeds and other debris that doesn't compost back in my mulch. I use the last for actual composting of what few leaves I have. I am actually buying another for the neighbors side to put their leaves in. These look great as well.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I have had this product for almost a year. I use one for holding sticks and branches that I want to chip for mulching the other two are for composting the things I remove from my flower beds. This really works great. Had no problem putting it together. It is easy to move. Looks good. I am purchasing another for the other side of the house to store the neighbors leaves in more compost for me.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Putting the spiral hinges on the edges was very difficult and scratched the plastic coating. Then when I stood the thing up the spiral hinges slowly descended till all 3 on a side were at the bottom of the edge. Useless.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I made the mistake of resting a garbage bag of leaves on the top edge and the wire broke. This is a good idea but it needs to be a little heavier gauge steel. Holds leaves well to keep them contained until there is room in the real composter!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

use mostly for mulched leaves

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Held all my leaves this season. The retainer springs took some time to put the panels together. A very tight fit.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The bin looks nice. Throw away the sprial conectors and use zip ties. Be aware that the 3 bin system is NOT 3 BINS. Order 3 seperate bins.I was looking for bins I could put together myself and move easily myself. These do that if you read closely. [...]I just wish they could get a little bit better quality. (Made in USA not China) They are gong to be great for leaves and stuff.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I have a small yard. So this product works well and doesn't take up a large amount of space as do most composting containers.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Pretty basic design. I just wanted something to hold leaves while they break down.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The springs that come with the product to hold the panels together are a pain to install. After doing 4 of 16 in about 20 minutes, I gave up and grabbed some nylon cable ties. Finished connecting the panels using the cable ties in about 2 minutes.

Gardeners supply should drop the springs and just provide cable ties.

I just put this composter together, so I am still waiting to see how well it actually works.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I put it to use with leaves for leaf mold. It assembled great, has a nice capacity and looks good!

My husband says get another one for storing mulch!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is the second set of triple wire compost bins I've purchased. These bins work well, don't rust, and are not bad looking either. I took another reviewer's suggestion and used tie-wraps on the front of the bins so that opening the filled bins is simple. With these bins, we have eliminated the need to bag leaves, and we get rubbish-free compost in return.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The best for composting leaves

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Very easy to assemble. My old compost bin consisted of wooden pallets tied together behind the shed. This unit fit perfectly in the area I had behind the greenhouse and looks so much better!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Great for leaves

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is a good basic leaf composter for our wooded lot. I will probably add another next year. I had a similar composter that had stakes through the corners rather than the spring clips and I liked it better because it was easy to assemble and staked into the ground.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I am brand new at composting. Putting together the bin was easy, even for a woman. It has a large capacity. I live in the suburbs so it is a good size for someone with an average amount of kitchen scraps and leaf fall. It is fun to be able to see the decomposition since it is an open bin. Since we don't have much wind and limited rain fall, I did not purchase a top for the bin.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Bin set up quickly but twists that hold sides together tend to slide down so check them and twist them back up if necessary. Good capacity. Just purchased so we are looking forward to good leaf compost in the spring. I put in leaves that I have collected with my leaf vacuum that I have shred twice so I hope they compost faster-(also reduces the amount of leaves quickly)

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I purchased these 1 month ago to replce a simalar home made composter, I made out of Frence post & wire fence. These are look nicer. but cost much more and holdless. The wire coil/ spring looking attachments are loose for conners of 2pcs and tight for the meetting point of 3pcs. These will work, just more pricey than my home made.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I have so many leaves I feel they are apart of my family. Even with the three bins I still have an overflow of leaves. So far it works out fine but I may have to purchase another one.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

was surprise how much this one bin holds. was wishing I had the money to buy the set. I have a big yard. Still works out pretty good for me. Hope to buy the three pack bin next year.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This product is great for anyone who already owns a composter. I have the three bin style. I use two bins for storeing my leaves to give me enough brown matter for the year. I use the third bin to compost my yard and garden waste in it saves so much room in my other countionus batch cooker for the rest of the things I compost.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Product should include wire anchors to keep in place on ground. I also bought the lid, but YOU CAN ONLY USE THE LID IF YOU PUT THE WIRE BINS TOGETHER tall. I wanted to connect the bins at the widest advantage and now I can't utilize this composter to hold things in a wider scope. The tallest combination makes it difficult to aeriate. I wish the sales person would have let me know that before I ordered. I would have not ordered the lid. There should be an option of sizes for a lid to fit either way.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Only problem with this product is that it is difficult to add modules to existing setup compost so it is best to get more at the outset and put them all together first

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Needed something with a higher capacity than just the kitchen scraps composter. Looks better than just a pile of leaves or grass. Attached the three together for maximum capacity. Unsure how we will retrieve the rich stuff at the bottom yet. The wire fasteners were a bit tedious to put on at each junction. Overall satisfied so far.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I found this a bit more difficult to assemble than I expected. But it does the job and is fairly unobtrusive.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I set this up behind my shed and it was really easy to do. When you first look at the instructions you get confused for a minute but once you start it all comes together. Its Ideal for big items for your compost such as leaves sticks, but I outlined mine with plastic and I put alot of various items in it now, coffee grounds, kitchen waste, leaves etc. Very nice thing to have, I also envy the idea how you can add on to it.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Bin has large capacity and my dogs haven't been able to get inside. Purchased a top to help keep other visitors out.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The clips used to hold the 3 bins together constantly slip as you try to install the three bins. I had to use ties to hold them in place.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Easy to use and assemble. Composts quickly. Holds a huge amount of leaves and materials. Compost is just what my garden needed.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The bins are great. The problem is I just might want more of them.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

used for leaves, lawn and garden waste and has a good capacity for these things. took quite a bit longer to assemble than advertised, but when done is very stable.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Easy to use and easy to move around.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

A large amount of leaves and brush can be kept tidily under control in these bins. The three-bin system also allows for good compost rotation.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

If I would have seen this one before I bought the tumbler would have ordered it. Still love the tumbler so guess I needed both.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I use 2 of the wire bins, one for filling and the other for holding straw, until the first one is full and ready to cook. Then I will start filling the 2nd one. They look very neat and nice. I am very happy I bought this product for my yard and garden.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I really like the height of the bins. It's very easy to turn the material and composts pretty quickly. I would like it if the size were a bit bigger (more cubic ft) as I compost a lot of yard waste.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Easy to put together after you get the hang of it. I thought the spring connectors were so simple to use. Put this together close to the area you want it to be. Not easy to move without a helper, I have the 3 bin unit. Blends right into the garden. I am going to need several more to handle the amount of waste I have but this would be great for the smaller gardener.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I really like the green color of this bin and the fact that it blends well with its surroundings. I ended up connecting the four sides with padded veggie Soft Twist Ties instead of the cumbersome silver spring-like connectors that come with it. Overall, I would recommend.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I bought 2 of these wire compost bins and some long stakes to hold it down which turned out to be unnecessary. The bins are low enough to turn the compost with a fork. They were easy to put together, I especially like that they will be easy to store. The color makes them disappear so they do not stand out.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I wanted something to contain my compost pile that was simple and not visually intrusive in the landscape. This wire composter completely meets my needs.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I was looking for a simple way to contain my compost pile that was not visually intrusive in the landscape. This wire bin is perfect.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The bin is fine; the metal coils are impossible to attach one bin to another except at the corners. I had 2 workmen employed for an hour, and the 3 of us could not assemble the bins using the coils. Not only are they dangerous to have around, they are impossible to use.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Bins are attractive, but relatively small, if you have a large yard with lots of trees. The spiral fasteners are a good idea on the back, but they need clips on the front so you can open it to turn the compost. I can't figure out how they thought people would be able to aerate with it.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I've been using this for a year... although this type of composting takes longer, I started it in the summer and next spring had plenty of compost, I have even used coffee grinds and egg shells, but mostly yard waste.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I use the bin for leaf, lawn clippings, and weeds Works great.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Very simple to assemble (big plus for me) and has a decent capacity. I use it for my extra yard clippings/leaves that I don't want to go into my tumbler and possibly overfill it. Don't love the design of the lid. I have to have two hands available to lift it, but I guess that's a plus for keeping critters out and the wind has not blown it off!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

It's great for composting when you don't want to use a traditional barrel. For those who are little technically challenged, it will take a minute to figure out how to get the cork screw wires on, but once you do it goes together in a flash. It's price point it great, and it really does the job. I started with a good stack of sticks on the bottom, then added some leaves and grass. Now I just add my usual kitchen compost and as it matures I move it into another wire bin and start over fresh with the one I've emptied; easy, easy, easy.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

As we live in a suburban area and needed to have a critter-safe compost system, we started out with a compost tumbler. However, we soon realized that to maintain a good balance of browns and greens in the tumbler, it would be helpful to have a place to stockpile our extra "browns." So we bought this product to hold leaves, twigs, and other yard waste. So far, it's working out well!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Because of seasonal allergies, I hire out lawn mowing at our home. Our service bags and disposes of the grass clippings and leaves in the woods. Over the last few years it had become a mess back there. The new composting bins are the perfect way to get this area back into shape. I'm surprised at how quickly the mix of grass clippings and leaves compost to make a spreadable mix for both woods and garden areas.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I am new to composting so I thought I would try a low-cost composter. This one is easy to assemble and holds a lot of brush/compost material (I add everything to it -- coffee grinds, fruit rinds, straw, grass, weeds, etc). I am bummed that I only got the one, however, because it is hard to turn and I would like the option of moving some of the top matter out into another container. I have it at the back of my yard and it is not attractive, but also not too unsightly -- it blends with the trees so you don't see it too much.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

FOUND IT BEST TO ANCHOR WITH STAKES ON 3 SIDES, THEN I CAN OPEN AND CLOSE ONE SIDE EASILY. EASIER TO ROTATE PILE.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I bought just one to see how it was going to work out. So far it's so much better than my old solid black compost bin. I should have bought the 3 bins.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The composter is attractive but the spirals were to difficult to wrap around the wire. I ended up using my own attacments.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Quick to set up. Composts quickly and easy to aerate. Better than my bin composter.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

What I liked the most was the easy way of putting it together. I like the green plastic coating on the the wire. This helps it blend with its surrounding.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The product is sastisfactory for my needs, however, the curly wires that are used to hold the product are not very easy to use, and they come off and roll down the grids as the year moves on - I have one I purchased last year also. This year I bought some of the popular new plastic ties in green (from the Christmas counter on sale) and used them on the new one, and reinforced my older bin. You really need to rethink that part. The price is a bit high. I guess after rethinking - I could have made one with wire from the supply store.

easy to set up

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I have two of these & use it for a fence around my vegetable garden. The green color blends nicely and keeps the rabbits out!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is no good for kitchen compost with the large openings but it is perfect for the leaves and grass clippings.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I really needed to get myself an airater before, now it is a must. I can turn my bins unless I take them part, which mess lots of twisting of the springs. The springs/coils are a great idea, it is just all the turning. At least they turn very easily. But the bins are great for some one who may be more patient than me. I am a hot pile composter, always in a rush. If you are like me, buy another bin. I was just think today that I should buy a single bin to go with my three bin system, then I will have an empty to turn my piles on a regular schedule.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I like the 3 bins. I am a passive composter, and the three bins let me start one, leave it to cook and start another. I'll review again after I've owned it for a while and let you know how it works.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We use this as our all around compost bin.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Very good simple product. Blends into landscape while containing the pile. Using more as a slow-cooking pile than for fast compost. Generous in capacity-plenty of air circulation-good solution for my little yard and for teaching my kids that every little bit helps. Fun to watch the pile become what nature intended. Won't be the easiest to aerate, but I'm intending on nature doing most of the work.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Easy. convenient, attractive

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This product serves its purpose. A single unit could topple if not placed on stable ground. More for use in a smaller garden; in larger lots one would need more units, in which case I think the price should come down a bit, however it is certainly more reasonably priced than the plastic, enclosed composters.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

My bin is used for yard waste--leaves, grass, twigs, etc. because I have a tumbling composter for food. The wire compost bin works well for my purpose but it could be heavier weight. I like the springs and how it goes together.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is a sturdy, easy-to-use system that when attached to our standing fence, doubled the capacity. Nice that it can also stand alone and be rearranged as needed, or divided into smaller separate bins.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I love everything about this unit except its sturdiness. Apparently, some rather large animal tried to get a snack during the night, pounced on the wire lid and the whole unit collapsed!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Composts quickly and holds much more than you would think. Attractive, low profile, easy to assemble, disassemble, and move. Highly recommended.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Useful as a secondary compost bin (bin cover purchased along with product) to compost leaves and grass clippings. The sturdy bin cover speeds up the composting process.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is fine -- plenty of room for lots of leaves and grass, and it looks good in the yard. But it's pretty difficult to turn the compost without wrenching your back or disassembling it. If I had it to do again, I'd splurge on one of the more expensive barrel composters.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I looked everywhere for a compost bin that would not stand out like a sore thumb in my yard AND was a reasonable price. This one is great! It looks great and is very easy to use. It was easy to put together too. After reading the reviews before I purchased, I got a top and bottom for it too so I can turn it over and speed up the process.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I am using my bin composting system to compost spring leaf clean-up and part of my mowing clippings (my mower is a mulching mower with an adjustable bagging capability)
I wish that it had clips to make three of the panels more easily opened so that the contents could be more easily turned instead of having to "unscrew" the current method.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This was fun to put together and so far works great; it has been together for only a week and is almost full. It blends in well and was easy for me to hide in my garden with a few well paced potted plants. It has been easy to turn so far and not much seams to be escaping. It is the perfect height for my daughter to be able to use which is an added bonus.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I was looking for a composting system for our abundant autumn leaves that is simple, unobtrusive visually and cost-effective. I found it in the wire bin composter, and I now own six bins.

I've set up three bins for leaves and will use the newer set of three I've just purchased to compost a combination of straw, green clippings, garden soil and rotting leaves from the adjacent set of three bins. Not only that, they look great in our yard!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Love the openness of this, it blends into the landscape, unlike clunky barrels, and is easy to manuever. We chose to assemble it wider and shorter, for ease of use (I'm short) and were too dopey to realize the lid wouldn't fit, but it still flaps down and holds leaves in place.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I purchased the three bin system and then a single bin with a cover. I have a very small property and these bins are perfect. The cost is just right and they are easy to use. I am so hooked on composting now. I have a tumbler but dont like it as much as open composting.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We've just turned to organic and this item is perfect for our needs.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

These bins are so easy to put up/ take down that I've used them for composting demos, temporary fencing around seedlings, and "puppy control" while I work in the yard.

Having extra bins allows me to compost materials that take a very long time to break down, without slowing down my ongoing compost production.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I found the spiral fasteners to be difficult to put on the center supports, where 3 edges met, rather than the corners where there were only 2. I used zip ties instead. I am very impressed with the capacity for making compost. We have a tremendous amount of leaves and are taking in relatives as well!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

As long as you can put this out of sight, it will meet all of your basic composting needs and it much cheaper than the fancy composters with which I honestly haven't had good results in the past.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Simple compost bin for anyone who is a "lazy" composter. I have two -- one for leaves from yard and one for kitchen scraps. I add kitchen scraps to one and cover with leaves from the other - no smell. In about one season you have compost. Couldn't get much easier than that! This bin is also very simple to assemble.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I recently installed mine, it hasn't had enough time to fully compost the material yet but so far most of the chipped leaves have stayed in the bin with very few falling through the wires. It installed easily, but be sure to buy the LONG (I bought 11 inch)earth stakes if you live in a windy area.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I got the three bins and I love it. I can mix new material in one, store leaves to be used later in another, and wait for finished compost in the other. I use black plastic around the whole thing to keep the heat in, and over the bin that is cooking. I put holes in the top for a little moisture in the mix.

I found the spiral connectors clever but hard to use and time-consuming. I use plastic cable ties instead. Then when a bin is finished, I clip the ties on one side and open it like a door for easy access. I also lined the whole thing with chicken wire because the holes were so big, leaves were constantly falling out.

this is by far the simplest and most efficient composter I have used.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Easy to set up & use.
Just toss in leaves, kitchen waste. All breaks down together & makes great compost with minimal effort.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I've used these bins successfully for composting, animal barriers and trellises. I find that attaching them with biodegradable twine works better than the metal attachments that are provided with them. The panels are lightweight and store easily when not in use. This is a fine product.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I want to make biointensive compost, which involves layering green material, dried material, and soil. I make a double bin by combining two of the bins into a rectangle. I've been using garden twine to fasten some of the corners, but will try the suggestions of other reviewers. I have 9 bins in my set, in a U shape. When I remove sod to begin a new bed, I layer the pieces in a bin to age until I am ready to use the sod soil.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This was my first composter at all. I am composting leaves and grass scraps. It looks like it is working. It is easy to assemble. I didn't use supplied spring shape fastenings, instead 7" long plastic cable ties. It was quick and problems. However, it was necessary to use some ground support to keep it place.I have used few wood stakes (1"x1" 12 "length) on corners to stabilize the composter. For quick composting, using a black(or dark colored) plastics sheet might be helpful. After few days I could observe heat development in compost.
I definitely recommend it for beginners. Abi

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I like a lot of things about these compost bins: they are lightweight, you can sometimes lift them right off your compost for easy shoveling or turning. You can set them up wherever you want easily. You can orient them either tall or wide. They fold down flat for storage if you ever wanted to store them. If you move from house to house, you can easily take them with you. I have 2 myself, and got 2 for my brother for Xmas. I found something similar locally, but it was twice as expensive.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

since may iirst bin I have purchased two more

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I found the connectors difficult to work with and instead used plastic cable ties to connect the bins.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

spiral connectors were difficult to install, especially on the middle sections where three panels intersect.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I love these bins -- they have very good capacity and can be set up either wide (for more capacity) or tall (more compact.) I didn't use the spiral wires to put the bins together - I just used green cable ties which were much easier and faster.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I like the way I can now keep my compost bin going. I used to worry about coming up with browns when I deposited all our kitchen scraps. Now I have a ready supply, any time of year.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is the 2nd wire bin composter I've gotten from you and they work very well. I'm inundated with leaves so I grind them up with my lawnmower and fill both wire bin composters [in the process adding several layers of soil and Bio-Dynamic composting solutions. By May 60% has broken down and I combine both wire bin contents to a third bin for further composting and store the wire bins in my garage. Neat and tidy but very functional. I also have one of your electric garden chippers. Great for the many twigs and fall garden refuge but not as efficient for leaves as my lawnmower...everything else, twigs, tomato plants, hickory nuts, bark, etc. grinds up nicely for mulch on my garden path.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Fairly simple set-up and my favorite thing is that being coated green wire, it's barely noticeable in the yard, and not an eyesore that needs to be screened. The optional cover is fine, but not needed. It did not have a good easy open latch.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Good capacity and easy to assemble, but sometimes corner supports slide down and have to be moved to original position. Great for normal garden debris, avoid heavy dirt chunks which tend to bow sides of bins.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We have three wire bin composters that are attached to each other. We use them for shredded leaves. There has never been a problem with the leaves blowing out of the bins, even without using the available lids. When the leaves compact, we do add grass clippings and plant debris from the adjacent garden. This product is a perfect fit for our needs!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Haven't had them long enough to have finished product yet. Like not sending leaves to landfill.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I just bought this system so I can't comment on how well it composts, etc. However, I can say it's attractive and easy to assemble, and a good value for the price.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Have big trees in our backyard and usually put leaves in black plastic bags - many bags! This was so easy this year to mow and shred all the leaves and dump the lawnmower bag in to the wire bin composter. I think it is going to be a challenge to aerate but so far it is great.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

It's nicer than just having a compost pile because although it's easy for you to get material in and out of it, it's harder for the animals to drag the contents all over the yard!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I like being able to keep leaves in one bin, add compost to a second and then let it sit and use a third bin for new compost.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I had a huge messy pile of garden waste material that was composting, at the end of my garden. Now all my material is aerated, tidy and organized. I still have room for more. I can't believe that it holds so such waste.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I have used and loved two wire composters for many years to compost my plentiful fall leaves. When I decided to add a third, I expected the same design with long stakes that held the panels together at the corners. Instead there are funky coils of sharp steel that cut my hands, scratched the finish off the bin and cannot be put in the middle spot. If not for a mountain of leaves, I would have sent it back. It is so disappointing.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Gone are the days of dragging 25 bags of leaves to the curb for the city to haul away. THEN driving in the spring with shovel and bags to pick up the "black gold" compost (mostly shredded leaves) the city made available for free to residents. Something's wrong with this picture...right? Now I shred my leaves (and my neighbors') pile them up and spread them out in the spring for my oh so happy plants. These bins look good in the yard, much better than chicken wire, and they're fairly easy to assemble. I ordered the set of 3, which attach to one another. I think next time, I would assemble at least one side with strong plastic ties rather than the included "springs". Then you could just unfasten the tie and hinge open to access. If you're using only one, it's no big deal—just lift it up. But with 3 attached that's impossible. Definitely recommend these!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

These grids have many uses in the garden in addition to composting. I connect them with biodegradable string. I use mine inside 3 x 3 raised grow beds to keep out squirrels, deer and cats. In the winter the lids keep out falling leaves. They can easily be covered with protective cloth to keep out cold and heavy snow. They add extra support to your green mesh tents during high winds. I harvest winter vegetables until February in Virginia.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This system made it very quick and easy to start a three-bin system in just a few minutes. Make sure you read the instructions--the coil fasteners are SO EASY to install, but if you try to do it on your own, you might wind up frustrated...there is a simple trick to sliding them on. :)

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Very easy to set up, and you can choose from 2 different sizes/volumes, depending on which way you orient the panels when you put them together. It will be easy to have 3 bins in the fall when I have the most yard waste, and decrease to 1 or 2 in the summer, to give me more garden space.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I've just set up the three bin composter and am delighted that I can use it through the fall/winter for composting, and have the option to fold it up and store it if it is not needed in the spring. It was easy to assemble and I like that the wired is plastic coated to deter rusting.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I had bought this same one a few years back and it worked great for composting fall leaves, so I ordered a new one. The only drawback is that now it has to be put together so that it is taller than the original. Otherwise, the top does not fit.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Really aesthetic way to compost! There is no cover available for the 3-bin system, so I made my own, which seems to work fine. Without cover, my material was not staying moist enough or able to keep a warm enough temp to work very quickly. More sturdy and easier than building your own bins! (Make sure to order the lid to keep animals out!)

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

East to assemble

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Through two seasons of use, my wire bins have been durable and they blend into the setting. Our seasons have been so cool that I won't try to judge the rate of composting action.

My only complaint is that that the wire coils that join the panels slowly work downward during the season, and the panels pull apart. The coils must be adjusted periodically.

I've found a great secondary use for the panels: as moose and rabbit protection for raised beds. I fasten the panels to bamboo or metal stakes, and leave some panels attached only by the wire coils, which serve as hinges so that I can swing those panels open for tending the plants.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The unit was very easy to put together; but, I took the advice of one of the other reviewers and used tie-wraps to secure the front panels. The tie-wraps will make it much easier when it comes time to open the front of the bins to turn the compost from one bin to the next, or to remove finished compost. I am using the bin to compost leaves and garden waste. I have only started using the system so I can't report on it's compost ability.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Our vegie garden is not near our big compost pile and this is a great alternative. I can thin, trim, whatever and dispose of the waste easily.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Simple, low-tech, low-visual-impact, easy-to-assemble. Ideal for a "lazy" composting system (no turning--just fill one bin then move on to the second and third until the contents of the first are ready to use).

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I put this together in less than 1/2 hour by myself. I purchased the three bin system with lids. I have to say that I was concerned about the spiral connectors, but they are super easy once you get the hang of it. Just make sure you start completely straight with them and have the two panels flush against each other. The bins are HUGE! They hold a ton of waste. I am actually looking forward to leaves this year.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Purchased 3-bin because saw luscious compost at friend's home; easy to add, turn, use; need adequate storage space for 3; flexible: can assemble 36" tall/square, or rectangular (easier to get to bottom of compost); makes lots of compost, using extra bin for large quantity storage, like leaves that can be added regularly.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

If you want the largest amount of composte, set the bins up horizontally. If you do though, you can't use the wire bin lids. By setting vertically, you can use the lids but you get less volume and turning the composte is toughter since you have a deeper pile.

The spirals to hold the system together are OK but when you are trying to attached 3 panels together, you have to line everything up perfectly to get them on. Even then you end up scratching the coating off and only time will tell what that might do. If you use the lids, use twist ties instead of the spirals to open and close, much easier that way.

Lastly, the product isn't well manufactured. I was leaning agains one side to reach over the bins and I snapped a rail. I am not a large person and I thought it should stand up better than that.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Used the spiral clips that came with it on the sides that I would not want to remove. Also, used plastic zip ties on the tops of the sides I do not intend to remove. Used alligator clips on the sides I will want to open to turn or remove the shredded leaves. Got the bins up quite quickly. Am putting shredded leaves in now.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I reccomend this product with cover to store shredded leaves to my customers. Later in the year the beds can be mulched with the shredded leaves saving customer lots of money. I do advise shredding leaves.This is an easy and inexspensive way to get started with composting

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We had one huge unsightly compost pile last year--now we have the bins set up as suggested in the catalog: one bin for new clippings and leaves, one for compost-at-work, and one for "finished." Our yard looks neat and tidy. These bins hold a lot!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Much better than the homemade chicken wire contraption I made. Holds up to wind well, and should weather the snow better because of it's rigid structure.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Does the job

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Bought a black plastic composter that came apart in 3 horizontal pieces so it was easy to take out compost of switch bottom to top. I wish Gardeners Supply would consider bringing this composter back.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

One set of bins is being used for leaves, with the three compartments. However the second set is without compartmentalization and is being used to store branches and mini logs for future kindling
purposes - LOVE it !!
My location is also 2500 feet up in the mountains -

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

An arborist informed us that we were suffocating the trees in the wooded area with grass clippings. The bins give us a place to put grass clippings without damaging our trees. The bins are far enough away from the house that oder is not a problem for us.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We had created our own bins from temporary fencing from the home improvement store, but they kept falling down, it was hard to move the compost around, and you couldn't easily get the compost out! These are great! The spring hinges are wonderful and allow you to open an entire side of the bin (easy access) without compromising the structure of the remaining bins. Love this product.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I am a careless composter. I do not aereate, I simply throw our yard and garden waste in to the composter, and I just let things ferment where they fall. This type of bin is perfect for me, it is now receiving all the new waste, and I am now using all the composted waste from the old bin.

The new bin was easy to put together, is well-made and I believe it will last for many years.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Too many leaves in the fall? Want an easy system to set up with a large capacity? Then this is the system for you. The setup is easy and quick and it holds a ton of leaves, weeds, and brush. I love this system for fall clean-up and summer weeds.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

It's easy to set up and the green color blends well in the environment.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The wire sides are strong and well-coated and can be used for containment of all sorts. My bunnies appreciate the nice green siding! Great compost bins too of course....I have two sets.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This was VERY easy to put together, had them together and filling them with compost material in 30 minutes!!! The optional lids are great. Haven't had ANY problems with wild life getting into my compost. Bought three more already to set up for next year!!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This is my first compost pit. I didn't want anything complicated, and this is as easy as it gets. I just throw all my kitchen and garden scraps and leave it. I thought it would fill up, but I've been using it all summer and it's only about a quarter full. It's easy to conceal behind some shrubs, and has zero smell. If you're looking for something super easy to deal with, this is definitely it. I'm not sure what the mulch will turn out like in the end, but even if it's only ok and I've kept all of this waste out of a landfill, I'll be satisfied.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

over the fence. I add all my kitchen scrapes and yard waste. I turn it occaisonally but it works OK without turning

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

These bins are lightweight and portable. I love being able to lift the bin off the finished compost and just spread it around. I've also bin able to just flip the whole thing over, putting new compost on bottom, old on top. Beats turning it with a pitchfork.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The wire grid frames are light, strong, rust and corrosion resistant, and easily attachable in a variety of configurations for any use.

We use them as an easily adjusted barrier (1) to keep the dogs from going into the pool when not invited to do so, and (2) to keep our pool dogs from romping into the house when sopping wet. Works like a charm.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I use this bin to hold extra leaves and it does the trick. I like the enclosed compost bin for fruit and vegetables, but this would probably work for those too if you are on a budget.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

The assembly was really straightforward and easy. The capacity pleasantly surprised me. The mulch has really helped my recycling efforts.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

This was recommended by my sister and I am very pleased.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

great to use around containers in the fall & fill w/leaves to over-winter plants in containers

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

i need a lot of compost for my garden-this allows me to do it in stages

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I needed something that could share the backyard with my dogs and keep them out. This was easy to set up. It looks fine in a corner of the backyard. I have trouble turning the pile, but that may just be my short (5'2") stature and being new at it. The clips that hold the corners together tend to work there way down and need to be re-adjusted occasionally. I enjoy having compost to put in my veggie garden. It has improved my clay soil.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Works very well to store leaves and "browns" for mixing with "green" stuff. I put a piece of cardboard over the top to keep browns dry.
Works well for composting large quantities and you can keep adding. To use your final compost, just lift it up and it's all laying on the ground.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

We use the wire bin composter primarily for grass clippings when my husband uses the collector bags for the riding mower. It's easy for him to empty the collector bags into the bins, so he's not reluctant to do so. It is not easy to turn the compost, but it seems to be breaking down with the addition of some compost Energizer.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I purchase the trio (and then another). I don't bother aerating, and I put my bins where I'm going to want my future compost to be, enabling me to disassemble the bin and spread in place. This year, the partially digested contents of my row of six bins formed the foundation of a perennial berm. But for that reason, I suggest users forgo the wire spirals and use plastic zip ties instead. The stress of a full bin makes it impossible to remove the spirals without a reciprocating saw! For a lazy composter like me, these bins are a great choice.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Can be set up short or tall, but the coil connectors make it difficult to assemble. Zip ties might be better.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

worked great for fall leaf clean up & spring clean up held most of my leaves.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I've had a compost "pile" for years, but needed a more attractive place to keep it without spending a fortune. So far this has been great. I bought an aerator to go with it and it's just what I needed. Leaves etc. are contained, and I can mix it without raking it back into a pile afterwards. I'm in no hurry for compost and will buy another of these if I continue to fill it at the rate I have this summer!

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I should set it up with tiers for the stages of composting.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

Very well made and easy to use. Should last a long time. Execellent price.

Comments about Wire Bin Composter:

I've tried homemade wire compost bins in various configurations using chicken wire or old fencing but the wire always rusted and sagged and my garden fork tines caught in the openings. In my new vegetable garden the compost bins were going to be visible next to the garden shed and I needed something that looked neat while being functional. These were easy to set up, look great, and are just the right size for the amount of materials I have to compost (except for early spring and fall cleanup when I have considerably more materials. I love using them!
