I had a compost caddy, what a difference. Less flies. Clean look. Easy to use sits on cutting board and looks good. My error, but I wouldn’t change my decisions, it doesn’t dock on my butterfly can. I fortunately have a standing steel shelf rack and dock on it next to my butterfly can.
I grew up watching my mother save vegetable scraps and burying them in her garden. I try to do this as well by keeping a container on the counter. BUT I typically have to stop and open unclasp the top so there are many time I just those in the trash. With this compost caddy attached to my simple smart trash can, it is so easy to lift the lid with a cutting board and just brush the scraps in. It also comes with biodegradable bags that I can easy bury in the ground. I love it.
Looks great, keeps nats away. However, it does collect moisture so the lid and bottom become wet, but that is a tradeoff I accepted in order to not attract nats.
Bought this along with my first simplehuman trash can. Installation super easy, comes with a pack of compostable trash bags, doesn't stink. What more could you ask for?!
It’s good. Well designed and is an attractive addition to our kitchen. However, It’s too small, a problem for families who do a lot of composting and don’t want daily trips to the compost bin. So we needed two of these.
There is no air circulation, so the contents cannot dry out. This causes odors to develop and waft out into the room every time you open the lid. A screened top that keeps the bugs out, but allows the contents to dry out would make this a perfect option.
We're avid composters/gardeners and we are loving using the composter with our 45L slim step can. The magnetic aspect is super amazing... easy to use and empty!
