The base is dovetailed at the corners and the uprights are lapped in. I have to complicate everything.

      They might have a newer model by now, but the tubular frame on this one was junk. It always wanted to fold up on itself, and it rusted away in the weather.

        no I mean the rolling compost bins in general. I only ever experienced piles. Obviously its easier to mix but im just sorta wondering how convenient it feels. assuming you did piles at some point of course. if not then it may be hard to relate.

      I prefer the freestanding ones that are open to the ground for drainage and microorganism migration.

        That makes sense. Im in a condo though and I have contemplated them at times. Granted atm I can’t get one but hopefully the future opens up options for me. One of the things though is im not sure what I would do with it if it worked out given at best I just have a few potted plants.

          Ours is 11 cu ft or about 82 gal and for a household of two it would take years to fill if not using any compost — we haven’t used much in our raised beds and in almost eight years, there’s still plenty of space.
