My wife and I will be starting the garden in a few weeks and she wanted a composter. The only thing I had to buy were a set of hinges,a pipe, and two closers. Everyting else was here at the house. I still have to paint it, but I'll get to that this week! I ordered my Goliath Heirloom tomatoes on Saturday! Tomatoes will be 2 to 3 lb each! Should be here Wednesday. I bought plants not seeds, that way I could get a jump on the neighborhood! Sorry the photo is sideways....... Jeff
