I have not used the composted as of yet, but looks like it will definitely be handy. I did not use the composter as of yet because there had been a delay on my Vego garden bed that I ordered. I am very happy it is on its way so I can get it set up and ready for spring as I live in WI. 
 I am a beginner in gardening and will be reading on how to get the new bed ready for the spring gardening of 2023.
