I am so excited to get this composter. I have wanted one for years. This thing is Hugh. It's made of a very thick material, well made and sturdy. It has a tray that it sets on that has wheels. You can spin the composter easily a couple times a week to turn your compost, without all the hard work of a shovel. The lid closes secure, it has a large lid for a large opening, makes it easy to put larger things in. This composter, I tell ya is great. Thank you so much influenster.
