    Perfect

    "I love this crock. There's no odor, even after two weeks of scrap collecting in the pail. I started out with a plastic pail with lid and had continual problems with odor, even though I emptied it frequently. Unlike plastic pails, this crock also cleans beautifully in the dishwasher and does not retain odors. The best part is that it's attractive so I don't mind keeping it out on the counter, making compostin..." Read Full Review »

    Too Expensive

    "When I ordered this, I had not seen anything like it anywhere, and thought it would be great for kitchen scraps so I wouldn't have to go out to my compoast pile everyday. However, imagine my dismay when, just a couple of days after receiving this in the mail, I found the identical item at a local store for half the price!!! I will probably not be ordering anything from you again without first double checking a..." Read Full Review »

    "I do a lot of juicing and this compost crock is ideal for tossing the pith into. It's easy to clean though I place plastic bags (from grocery store or from Gardeners.com) inside to hold the compost. This makes it easier to take scraps outside to either my worm bin or regular compost. "

    "The handle is very insecusre. Even with trying to tighten it, it still is in a "must watch situation". If you try, and it is not easy, to tighten the handle too much it looks like you would break the container. The way it is set up it slids off the stub or holder way too easily.
