This rolling composter's design allows you to efficiently convert your kitchen and yard waste into rich soil enhancing compost. Just load it up, close the sliding door, and use the convenient built in hand holds to give it a turn every couple days and see how it produces finished compost in weeks. You can also conveniently roll the composter to your garden to dump the finished compost or move the composter to a different location within your yard.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far so good! I've been using the composter for about 2 months now and so far so good. It is heating up inside and I've got beneficial bugs flying around so it seems to be cooking. I've been making sure to add a handful of brown matter every time I empty my kitchen pail (using straw so far). While it is heavy to spin, I don't have any difficulty (female in 30s) and you can even fit the tips of your shoes on the little grooves and use your legs to push down and give it a spin which might be a good option for people with back issues. Hopefully I'll get some nice compost, but TBD.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Quality! Fantastic composter that easy to use and tumble. The quality of the barrel and base is great and the product came with useful tips for how to produce good compost. Even my father who is 65+ also enjoys it and finds it extremely easy to maneuver. I Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple and works I needed something simple at my cottage that bears can't destroy. No handles or turning mechanisms, no cheapo legs that would break. Worst case a bear can roll this around a bit.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great-made in Canada composter Love 1) made in Canada, 2) easy to roll/aerate, 3) sliding door. Only challenge has been the sliding door in winter freezing frequently. Otherwise love it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Compost helper Rolling composter is okay, the only thing I could have ordered the one with the handle to roll the composter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hot Frog no spindly legs - solid base I am very pleased with my Hot Frog Rolling Composter. I bought it for my raised garden beds because I can't control pests in my backyard compost (which I now use for the flower beds). It is an easy size to manage myself and the fact that it has a low curved base so it is practically sitting on the ground keeps it very stable. I can also roll to my garden for emptying. It is a good design and I can't really imagine anything breaking on it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from So far so good. I've only had it a few months and it's late in the season (fall/winter) It appears to be well made. I suspect it will last many years. How well it composts is yet to be seen. I suspect it will do what it says. If so I'll likely get another one.

Is the bin bear and/or rodent resistant?

Asked by: Nicole
We have had our composter for a year and have not had any problems with either bears or rodents.

Does it smell and/or attract a lot of flies? How long does it take roughly to produce something I'd put plants into?

Asked by: Humbleworm
No smells. Easy to use. My family of 6 fills it very quickly, and it turns to useful compost in about 4-5 months. I could use 6 more for my family.

Are there aeration areas in the body, or does it only rely on the front slot (when it's open)?

Asked by: Sass
Yes, there 8 aeration holes in each side of the body chamber.

Will it survive the cold winter? Can it be left outside? Or it should be kept in the garage?

Asked by: Irisha
I had mine outside all winter in southern Ontario and no issues. No smell and no animal issues because I only put fruit and veg waste from kitchen plus tea and coffee - no meat scraps or bones. I’m 62 and only 54 in tall and I find it very ease to rotate and to move if necessary.
