Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mantis 4000-00-02 ComposT-Twin Composting Bin
Customer Review: exceeds my expectations.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a lazy gardener. Don't get me wrong, I love to spend time in the garden but I hate to spend it doing something that could be done easier. What does that have to do with making compost? Everything!
I do not turn my compost bins. I let the worms take care of it for me, but they are not the fast workers. It takes about a year for me to get a batch of compost. That is ok with me. I have multiple bins going. But, I have always thought that a tumbler would be the way to go. I could crank it everyday, as long as I remember, and compost would come out every two weeks. What was stopping me? A few things.
- $500 for a composter?
- the legs look flimsy
- does it really work fast?
- Is it big enough?
- How well is it built?
Well, I bought one. It got to me in less than a week during the heavy Christmas mailing season. WAY TO GO AMAZON!
The legs are very strong. Steel support and the barrel is well designed. Empting the compost is so easy. Just pull a wheel barrel under it and turn the crank.
It is plenty big enough. In fact, I am having trouble feeding it.
Compost in 14 days? Not for me. Did I tell you I was lazy? Maybe I do not grind things up enough or maybe my recipe is not perfect, I don't know. What I do know is it speeds up the whole process with very little effort on my part. In a couple of days the mixture is very warm. By the end of two or three weeks the mixture is cool again, moist, and about half finished. Perfect for putting in my old bins for a month or two of seasoning.
You'll notice I have not discussed the $500. That is for you to decide on. I just know that I will get good compost, much faster, and with far less work than before. All I need now is to make friends with a professional gardener so I can take some of the leaves and grass clippings he is collecting. Did I say I am having trouble feeding it?
