Easy Access through the large lid opening, easy turning and aerating, no corners for material to get stuck in, design allows for easy batching and good quality compost.
360 DEGREE ACCESS TO THE PILE
Because of its round and conical shape, The Earth Machine can be turned to access the pile from any direction.

My Composter
lepouse reviewed June 4, 2008 at 2:13 pm
This was free because I attended a Warwick Township (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) composting workshop at the municipal building. It's very easy to use. It's big, and it's open on the bottom so ground works can get in all on their own and help you along. There is also a little door on the bottom for easy access to the stuff already composted. I call it Darth because it looks like Darth Vader.

Pros: Easy to use, can forget about it, open on the bottom
Cons: sometimes hard to mix because the top is tapered
