I've had my eye on this for a really long time. I finally purchased it because the squirrels were getting into my open compost pile and throwing scraps around that my dog was eating. I also want to be able to make compost faster than the pile method. It was super easy to put together and I did it by myself. I did put the drum on backwards so I had to fix that. I'll update the review once I get my first batch of compost.
