A top product. Just as I had imagined. Compost is no 6 weeks in use, so I can not make any statement about the speed composting. But even if it should take a little prolong, that would be ok for me. Most concerns I had due to some reviews, which make the product look rather bad. I can not say now. For me it was clear that it should be placed on a flat surface, a plate or the like, also to later be able to absorb the composted soil better. Then the composter is also top and there are no problems with any flaps. I would highly recommend it and wonder why I have made myself beforehand just so hot because of other reviews, finally cut the composter on a demo page with a grade 1 from which he has earned.
