Lacewing Outdoor Wooden Compost Bin Small 373 Litres - Composter with Traditional Slated Design for Natural Garden Compost 73cm x 73cm

I am thrilled with this purchase... Some reviewers have commented on the lack of instructions and that the wood arrives flat pack and wet from the preserving spray. BUT this is NOT an issue. I put the slats around my garage walls to dry out (you DO need to do this as the joints will have swollen when wet) and in a few days they all were. I then took 10 mins to assemble (very simple) - you will need a flat surface to do this. Bingo! I now have a completed wooden composter that I love.

The Composter arrived promptly in a rectangular bundle with each piece stacked side by side, which was reasonably heavy. The slots for each piece to fit together were per cut ready for assembly. There are no assembly instructions but it is relatively easy to assemble, just ensure the smaller pieces with a slot in one side form the top and bottom rails. Each piece then slots together working in a rectangular direction to build up the composter. I used a small rubber mallet to knock each piece together to ensure full interlock. I assembled the composter by myself, but would help if there were two of you. Once assembled it was lifted in place in the corner of the garden and does not look out of place in our relatively small garden area. Would benefit from having a top cover but is value for the money, containing a fair amount of wood.

Needed a compost bin for the garden but didn't want a plastic one. Used a wooden one years ago which made for better compost. The air is able to circulate between the slats.

What can you? It’s a compost bin. Easy to assemble and made from rough cut timber. Should last a season or two.

I ordered two of these and stacked them together to make a lovely tall composter, robust, sturdy, easy to construct and small enough to tuck in the cornr of a small garden. Composting is essential to cut down on landfill waste, get going with one (or two) of these.

The bins when made are 60cm not 70cm tall. They fit together easily however they are so wet and poorly packed that half the ends have fallen off that help you link the corners. When I say wet, I mean that the wood has turned black on quite a high percentage of the pieces. We are going to need to reinforce the whole thing to keep it together.15 years is more than a stretch for durability, I think we might make 2 - 3 years if lucky due to the poor state of the wood in the first place and the fact they look like they were cut into batches years ago and left to sit in the wettest weather.No I wouldn't recommend and I wouldn't purchase this 'brand' again.

This crate looks wonderful in our garden. My housemate put it together in about 15 minutes, and it is sturdy, but most importantly it holds A LOT of grass, hedge cuttings, and other bits to turn into compost.Delivery was quick and prompt, the item arriving about 4 days before the estimated date.Great service, and great product.

Arrived promptly and was easy to assemble. I gave it an extra coat of wood preservative as I has some at hand having also treated my new shed. Possibly a bit smaller than expected but as advertised, so very pleased.
