Dang it. Why do these deals seem to show up when I'm broke? Anyway, thought I'd pass it along. Everyone should have a composter or two. I've been after one of these off-the-ground tumbling types for a while now.
Costco.com has the Lifetime 80 gallon Composter listed at $179.99 bit if you call your local store (as I just did) you will most likely get quoted $99.99. Not sure why. Customer service said this was the price they came in at as well so she didn't understand the high price on the website (price mistake?)
I can't post a pic right now as I'm posting this from my Droid and it is being a little temperamental (grr, can't use my spell check on that word either).
I have been calling the closest costco stores (5 hours away) and the only composter they have is a 100 gallon for $139
ReplyDeleteStill a good deal.
@Tricia I wish these deals weren't so varying but you are right. That is still a good deal. Amazon has the 80 gal @ $139 + shipping.
ReplyDeleteGosh I just love Costco...its by far my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI always used about 9 feet of 3 or 4 foot tall wire mesh fencing. That made about a 3foot diameter compost pile. Worked for me. When it needed turned, I removed the wire and moved it over, than just fork the original pile from starting on the top and it reverses it, putting the new on the bottom.
ReplyDelete@Dizzy Sounds like a good challenge to me! I have a roll of chicken wire and will take the challenge. If it saves me $99, I'll be one happy camper! Or is the gap in chicken wire too large?
ReplyDeleteJust found a YouTube video showing how to use chicken wire!
ReplyDeleteWe live in such a cold area with a short growing season, that we decided to go ahead and buy the 100 gallon one. Hopefully, this will help with our garden this year.
ReplyDeleteUntil I can afford one, I'll try the chicken wire. It's just sitting in my shed yelling USE ME, USE ME! I wonder if Dizzy gets his to work in a cold climate?
ReplyDeleteI first started to use the wire when I lived in Pennsylvania. With the short warm season, sometimes I added some protein to jump start it.
