Questions & Answers
Is the cedar prone to warping?
Hello, thank you for your question about the Greenes 309.17 Gal. Cedar Wood Stationary Composter (RCCOMP48). Cedar wood is a naturally stable wood. It has a low moisture content and oils that resist moisture absorption. This gives it a resistance to warping and makes it more stable than many other types of wood.
how does it open for removing compost?
The dovetailed boards can slide in and out of the routed corner posts.
Is it possible to purchase replacement corner posts?
Separate parts are not available for sale through Home Depot.
How do you keep animals from getting into food scraps in the composter? Is there a lid option?
There is no option for a lid.
Lid or not, animals get in anyways.
In general, food scraps that would attract animals do not belong in compost (meat and dairy). I layer my compost with leaves and other yard scraps, if I have rotting vegetable matter (for example tomatoes or apples) they go underneath, and soon rot down to dirt. While some compost containers do have lids, I don't think one is needed, and certainly not in the one under discussion here.
If you are composting properly you shouldn't have problems with critters. I'm doing the browns/greens hot composting and things break down fairly rapidly, although I'm in Arizona and that helps. Do lots of reading on the various compost methods and you should do ok. NO COOKED SCRAPS AND NO MEAT OR ANIMAL PRODUCTS.
Hi, a lid is probably not a worry. You didn't specify what animals would come into your yard and eat your scraps, but the worst would be rats, as they dig from the bottom and you won't probably see or hear them coming.
Which country is this product made in and where is the wood sourced from?
Product is made in the USA with North American Cedar.
USA
What are the dimensions of the posts are they full 4x4's??
The posts are 31 in. x 2.5 in. x 2.5 in.
Would it hold up to being used as a raised bed?
Probably not. The connections are not that strong. This company makes raised bed containers too. I'd get one of those for actual gardening.
This item is designed to be used as a composter.
Could I use this for animals? I have rabbits and would like a simple fencing so they can hop around while I clean their cages. If I modify this to have a door.
This product is made from untreated, unfinished cedar wood and is designed to be used as a composter.
I think it would be difficult to build a door in the compost bin since it rests on top of the ground. The corner "posts" are not anchored in any way. I'm sure you could construct a door, but it might be easier to build a complete pen from scratch.
