Good luck with the compost maker. I hope you don’t have the problem I had. My tumbler was half the size of yours and I’m afraid to say it was much too heavy for me to turn. Admittedly, I’m not very strong but it was OK when there was very little in it, but impossible once it got over half-way full. Maybe it wasn’t as well made as yours but it cost enough, i.e. around UK£50 I think.
I have three of the4 exact same kind. I bought two and soon learned that you can only fill them about 1/2 or a bit more boefore the top gets out of round due to the weight. I called the company and to make up for the difference in voloumn, what was actual and what was advertised, they sent me a third one free. So, be sure not to overload the bin.

I bought one, too. It was easy to assemble and a lot of heathy fun. Mine is half way full and difficult to turn. I need a second one while the first one rests. My neighbors hang over the fence and shake their heads at me. They will all change their mind when I start giving they fresh produce.
Hi Doug;
It looks complicated to set up.
Looks great! I’ll be interested to see how it works. The price is a bit of a barrier though….Did you get it in Canada or through the website?
Good video a little chuckle and great info Thanks
Tried to order on line. Wouldn’t accept postal code. Says it needs a zipcode. How did you get yours ? did you but it when you were in the US?
Is there a way of purchasing the compost tumbler in Canada?
