    Is on sale for $64 which they say is a savings of $95. Of course I've seen the same composter selling for over $400 on some sites. It makes compost tea underneath, and rotates to speed up the composting process. I've read some reviews that there is a little extra flashing that needs to be filed down, or shaved off, and that one screw hole may not be properly aligned on some of their products. I haven't assembled mine yet, perhaps a job for today, but better to wait til my peep is in school tomorrow.

    It is a blue round composter, I believe called planet Earth on some sites. If you go to Rona and do a search for a composter it is on some kind of clearance. Limited availability from last year's stock. My store still had three left. Regular price was $159, or last ticketed before the sale price. I found out about the in store sale doing a search for a second composter. Sorry about the broken link. I'm not super smartcanuck savvy.

    That is indeed the one. Thanks for the photo help. I tried saving it to my computer to upload it earlier, but we can all see how far that got me. I'm excited to set it up. The claims from the shape being it can compost your materials in 7-10 weeks instead of ohhhh, close to 52 weeks with some composters, has me really curious. Also because it doesn't seem to have an entry way for worms, hmmmm. Not that I'll mind not digging in worms.

    cushiebunny!

    Oh nice! That is a great price. Maybe DH will approve purchase for that price. Thanks Shwa Girl too for photo. Thanks for sharing this deal.

    thanks guys. further research tells me this composter is not sold in my town and since the website still lists original price they probably wont order me one at clearance price. Do you have link to anyplace that lists the price at $64 so we can try to get them to order us one?

    I think it is hit and miss from store to store. I'd just check my circle of stores going out a bit further if you don't mind the drive, or maybe ask them in store if they can find the nearest store with one to order one in from. I set mine up today, fairly easy to do. One of my washers did not fit, as if the screw wasn't long enough with it. It also wasn't as hard to spin as I read in one review, but then again it is not full to the brim yet. I keep envisioning my daughter emptying it out and putting the cat inside and using it like a hamster ball.
