Anybody heard of or used an Envirocycle Systems brand compost bin?

Trust me, after two years outside it ain't gonna be that effortless.

It seems kind of small, actually, which would be great if you have really limited space. It'd also mean you can't compost very much at one time, however.

My old, cracked, drilled trash can works fine for me. It's barely big enough to maintain sterilizing (130+) temperatures for about three days, handles the garden trash (barely in fall), and isn't hard to fill, mix, or empty.

I guess the link I sent didn't specify a product. They have a "mini" and an "original".

Notice the base - it's a hollow base designed to collect the tea that seeps out of the bin. Is this unique? Or do other systems have this?
I'm considering getting one because I can get it for a REALLY good price Problem are; a)I've never composted before. b)I don't have a garden...(yet) most likely I could never make enough to use on the lawn.

The original is a much better size, but without a garden you're probably better off with the small one. If the (yet) is likely to become a (gonna have one), then the larger might be wiser.

Other systems do have a tea collector, but you don't really know what you're getting. If your compost went anaerobic on you (and it happens), the tea isn't all that great--it can actually be toxic to some sensitive plants. I just let mine seep out the bottom and into that part of the garden.

As far as volume, even with 2,500 square feet of garden or so, I only produce enough compost to cover my Thuja and roses, and a touch extra for a few of the younger trees. That's with an almost complete turnaround on organics on the property. The lawn rarely sees any, usually just what spills when emptying the bin that gets tossed out over it.
