Product Description
The Compost Wizard Jr. offers all the features of our Good Ideas Compost Wizard in a smaller package. At 7-cubic feet of volume, it can sit discretely out of the way while still offering a decent amount of compost. It comes in two pieces— simply place the drum on the base and start composting. Molded handholds allow for a solid grip while also serving as agitators for the compost in the interior. The unit effortlessly rotates due to its wheeled base, and you can also take the compost bin off the stand and roll the container around the yard wherever you need. The 12" twist-off lid keeps your compost safely closed and away from rodents and other animals, and each end of the compost bin has plenty of aeration vents. Made with recycled, BPA-Free plastic, there will be no chemicals, toxic or otherwise, leeching into your compost. The black color efficiently absorbs the sun's heat, helping keep your compost in the perfect temperature range of 100-150 degrees F (38-66 C). In ideal conditions, you could see compost in as little as 21 days.

The composter arrives in a single, large box. It's bulky but can be picked up by a single person. The composter comes fully assembled with three pieces: the base and the container with lid. Following the instructions, I placed the base on a firm piece of ground near my garden and the container fits right on the base. It's all as simple as you would expect it to be.
I filled the composter with a mixture of "brown" and "green" materials until it was pretty packed and full. I then watered it until water started coming out of the holes that were drilled into the sides (which are perfectly spaced and sufficient). Every other day or so, I rolled the composter on the base. Even full, it was quite easy to roll; many times I was able to do it with just one hand, or even one foot (hey, I'm lazy). Depending on the environment, you may need to add water throughout the cycle. I added water maybe two or three times.
The lid fits quite securely and I never had any problems that some of the other people had with material getting stuck in it. Something else that I noticed was that as the material was decomposing, any smell was kept in the composter, and you couldn't smell anything decomposing while it was sealed. Flies also were kept to a minimum.
When the time came to empty it, I rolled it off of the base and to my garden. Emptying it is super easy.
I really have nothing to complain about with this product. If you're looking for an entry level composter or something for a small garden. I'm considering purchasing a second one.
It really is easy to use - but that is not to say that I haven't had any difficulty. It isn't always as easy to spin as it used to be because it can get heavy. That is why I got the 2nd one - to have a more reasonable spinning experience (when it is half full, not an issue. Couldn't be easier. When it gets to about 3/4 full, it is just soooo heavy!)
And um - lesson learned - in the heat of summer, only go near this thing in the morning. I came back after a trip - and my family had not emptied the compost-container in the kitchen while I was gone. It was a little smelly even with the filter, so in the heat of day, I decided to empty the small kitchen bin to this outdoor composter. IT WAS SO HOT. (Which makes complete sense - but apparently, I wasn't thinking straight.). (I also tried to spin it when it was that hot which makes me just a little bit dumber)
Also - the lid isn't always the easiest to get back on track, but a few spins in the wrong direction will get it right where it needs to be so that you can easily spin it correctly to get it closed. In winter when there is ice involved, that is when I have had the toughest time with the lid
- I love these composters!!!
