How easy is it to remove the compost?

Considering your compost is uniform and ready to be used, it's very easy to remove. Pulling the pin on the side allows the barrel to rotate, then spin the barrel to whatever position works for you (90* or 135* to shovel out or 180* to dump to the ground/wheelbarrow) and reset the pin so it stays in place.

Easy, with a shovel. Turn it so the door opens upward and use a cord to hold the door opened. The big opening allows easy access with a shovel.

If you use a compost starter, keep it slightly moist, keep it in the sun, and turn it every other day, you should have compost within a few weeks as long as you aren't putting a lot of twigs in it. The finer you chop up the stuff, the quicker it will turn into compost. But you also have to put enough into it, to get enough compost out of it, as vegetation is mostly water to begin with and breaks down to almost nothing.

This unit sits on your kitchen counter. It chops up orange peels, celery leftovers, banana peels. Things that won't decompose for a year if not chopped up. Then you throw all that into the larger outdoor composter with the grass clippings and weeds. You will need a compost container too.

I do not know how long it takes. Depends on lots of variables. I have mine setting in the corner of the yard and throw stuff in it every day. I am sure at some time this fall I will be able to pull compost out of the door on the bottom.

I've been using a YukChuk compost bucket for about 6 months. I've got mine wall-mounted on the included bracket, and when installed like that it's easy to open and close with one hand. I think most regular buckets with tight-fitting lids would require two hands to open and then to close. So, open with one hand, toss in the compost scraps, close with one hand. And this one is completely air tight, so no odors and no fruit flies. They've got a video on their web site that shows just how air tight it is!

I don't really remember and I found the instructions away. But you can go online Google composting and get a lot of information.

There are a variety of factors that go into composting like the others have said such as size of the material, kind of material how often you turn it and other factors to consider but I would say on average about 2-3 months.

I just lifted the whole thing up and moved it over, then shoveled the compost back into it - a lot easier than trying to turn it any other way!

I think it is pretty easy, the main container fits in your hand leaving other hand free to wipe clean and dry. I use it every other day to shred carrots for my dog food.

I believe you would have at least a layer of finished compost at the bottom of the bin in 8 weeks and could lift the bin up and move it, then move the unfinished contents on top back to the bin, leaving the finished compost available to use. I usually add to the bin for 3-4 months (it never stays full for more than a few days as things decay and compress), which yields better results than trying to hurry it along.

It depends what you put in it, time of the year, and when you stop adding new material in the composter. In the summer it takes about two months after the last material is added.

Yeah super easy - you just squeeze an end away from the wall and remove it. We put ours up every night and remove it every morning.

Not difficult at all, the directions in the packaging explain how to do it. It took me maybe 5 minutes tops to do it.

Very easy....but I don't know how it would hold up after frequent installations/removals. It has been durable for me for the last 2 years but I haven't tried to remove it.

Removal is simple. I took it down before the winter snows in a matter of five minutes. By myself, it took longer to fold it up for storage. It is a quick and easy job.

It appears to be composting just fine. My bin is full from veggie scraps all winter and froze a little but appears to be heating up again. I plan to order another one so one can be filling as the other gets done. I expect the process will go quicker in the summer. I like these bins. Sturdy and simple. Mine also smells a little, which I thought was natural, but apparently my ratio between "green & brown" is off.

I have a compost heap out in my back yard. I take stuff out to it all year long. Some people have 2. One cooking and one building. You can do it however you like, obviously.
