I thought this composter was a great idea for urban composting. I was wrong. It was small and compact, but I couldn't rotate it because it leaked immediately! It was on a patio, not the ground, so leaky smelly compost tea was a bad idea. It was so messy that I couldn't even move it to the grass to let it spill out. It would have been fine if it were actually on the ground (and therefore, didn't matter if it leaked).
