I like the ComposTumbler. Made in PA. All american. Spins easier. No axle runnng through the middle that always gets in the way of scooping out finished compost

Kathy, I am quite interested if this terra cotta composter lives through the winter for you. As a Canadian, I have not seen this composter for sale anywhere here yet. Is this a prototype that they are testing for release on the market next year? It is very attractive, something difficult to find, and desirable if you have a small city garden. I also keep a winter composter by my back door, and move it in the spring. I cannot be bothered to climb the snowbanks to get to the main ones. .-= Deborah at Kilbourne Grove´s last blog ..Between Two Ferns =-.

I hope it works out well for you, Kathy. I like the looks of it much better than most I've seen. .-= Cindy, MCOK´s last blog ..Through the Garden Gate: Monday, September 7th =-.

Our current compost pile is far enough away from the house that I have no idea what animals are visiting it besides the chickens, who don’t care if they’re caught snitching. It’s inside their enclosure, after all. But every winter we have problems with rodents getting into our old country house. I don’t really want to provide them with a cozy base of operations, nor do I want to come face to face with the enemy when I lift up the lid.

Want one! Looks perfect for winter. Curious to know how it performs. Do you have trouble with rodents in your compost? I haven’t seen a big problem here, just birds and the Beagle. He loooooves corn cobs.

The idea of a composter by the door during the winter is a lovely one. Right now I have a big new compost pile near the Potager, but the old black barrel compost bin in next to the hen house, where I have to go every day anyway. No getting away from boots and a slog. sometimes snowshoes are required. .-= commonweeder´s last blog ..Horticulture and Culture =-.

The appearance does make it tempting, Kathy – but those airholes look pretty big.
Our squirrels can chew through anything! For urban composting we need a model where stainless steel window-type screen is implanted over the entire interior during the molding process ;-] \
I hope it works for you – having an attractive composter right outside the kitchen door would be great in winter.
