Description



Reduce your trash and make your garden smile with this cleverly designed compost bin. The Exaco Thermoquick 110 Gallon Wibo Recycled Plastic Compost Bin features a cutting-edge design that's very easy to use. It consists of five panels only, which makes it very easy to assemble or collapse for storing. Corner clips lock the side panels together securely, and two sets of lid "grabbers" on each panel prevent the lid from blowing open.

 

All parts of the Wibo are made of durable 100% recycled plastic resin, which means you won't have to worry about rusting hardware or rotting wood. The dark color of the plastic absorbs the sun's heat, creating a warm environment inside that's essential to successful composting. Multiple well-placed air slots provide proper ventilation and guarantee optimal composting conditions.

 

Quick access for loading and unloading is not a problem with this moderately sized compost bin. The reinforced lid opens straight up and stays in the upright position until you close it. The access doors on all four sides can be removed and placed into slots above the openings for easy access to compost materials at the base. Complete composting instructions are included to help you begin and maintain a successful composting system.

 

With the help of the Wibo 14.7-Cubic-Ft. Compost Bin, you'll be making good use of vegetable scraps as you develop nutrient-rich fertilizer for your garden. With its trim design and subtle color, the Wibo will look great in your garden or along the side of your house. Order yours today.

 

Additional features

  • Reinforced lid opens straight up and stays
  • 5-panel design is easy to assemble and store
  • Well-placed air slots provide proper ventilation

I did a lot of research; I checked out many bins at many famous and semi-famous gardening websites. This does work. Buy it (but first search for best deal). Everything advertised is valid: there are multiple ways to access composted material; there are multiple ways to set up top lid for easy access; there are plenty of vents to insure oxygen content; even the multiple instructions regarding best composting suggestions are very good. The bin is made from re-cycled plastic (I like that especially). The directions that come (in 4 languages, minimum) are egregiously written in any language! The images that come with directions are so small as to be useless. There were even parts (the corner caps) that weren't even mentioned in the assembly instructions. HOWEVER, it is clear, simply from examining the parts, what goes where. At first assembly, the corners weren't squared and I thought... uh, oh, cheesy. However (and this is important), after a couple of hours of just sitting, assembled, all the parts just settled into each other. And, after 4 hours, the bin opens and closes (all entries) easily] and we're composting here without a mess that the neighbors might complain of. Much better than our previous chicken-wire composting "bin".

We had trouble assembly this product, as it is difficult to get the cheap plastic parts to fit into each other. Although it is priced well and looks good, there is really nothing special about this composter, as it is primarily four plastic walls with a lid (and no bottom).

In hindsight, I might have bought the barrel composter that you can roll to aerate the contents. The plastic composting tool they threw in to aerate it doesn't work that well, so you need a shovel to really get down deep and turn the mulch. Also, they said it came with a Composting guide, but it's just minimal instructions on a one-sheet flyer.

On a positive note, I like the fact that it comes with a little "starter mix." We like the side panels that come off on the bottom to access the mulch, and the bin definitely "cooks" the compost faster than just a pile, which we've had for 10 years. This bin is sturdy enough to keep the animals out. We are looking forward to seeing how quickly this bin works compared to our compost pile.

          Comments about Exaco Thermoquick 110 Gallon Wibo Recycled Plastic Compost Bin:

          I've been using this bin for 2 years now. It is durable and has very good proportions (height vs. width/depth) for mixing. I only have two complaints:
          1) If it's not 100% level it won't stay together. It took several weeks, but after finally getting it level, it has worked perfectly.
          2) The lid only opens to vertical position, so it wants to close, especially with any breeze.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Comments about Exaco Thermoquick 110 Gallon Wibo Recycled Plastic Compost Bin:

            Old home-made stuctures have outlived their usefulness and needed to replace. Can't 'make' new ones so decided to purchase 'ready-to-use'. Have had terrible winds here late April/early May and this unit has taken all Mother Nature gave it with flying colors. Will be loading until late June/early July and hope to have compost for over winter gardening

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Customer Q & A

            Q1: What is the clearance in inches between the bottom of the bin and the ground?

            A: The compost bin sits directly on the ground. The picture shows compost coming out of the bottom door.
