Price

And this has already paid itself off

The price point is up there but this thing delivers

The price seems high but for me composting is a small part of saving the world and its a small price to buy to be able to contr... Read More

Competitiveness

I live in a city and needed a better option than my outdoor compost bin to avoid large critters
