Using Yard Butler   2010-07-04
By I. Taylor (North Kingstown, ri USA)
Initially, I'm having difficulty getting the folding "blades" to unfold, as required to stir up the compost contents. It may be that I need to figure out how to apply a "lubricant" that will not compromise the compost contents. The concept for its design seems to be valid. Getting it to work consistantly is taking some doing. Haven't given up on it, to be sure.
Great tool for mixing compose.   2010-07-04
By Terrence Barton (Alton, IL)
I bought this a couple months ago. I've used it once a week since then and it does a tremendous job aerating the compost pile. Amust tool.
Better than nothing? Vanes don't swivel back down...   2010-05-23
By Peter D. Henry (York, PA USA)
Believe the other reviews when they say the wings don't fulfill their intended purpose. There's not enough engagement with the compose to swing them down when you turn the handle, so you end up essentially poking round holes into your compost pile. I'm thinking a long-handled Garden Cultivator such as Ames True Temper 1800500 Kodiak Forged Steel 4-Tine Speedy Cultivator with 52-Inch Handle would have been a better option.
Awesome tool for compost bin   2010-05-05
By pdxBK (Portland, OR)
This works great for turning and aerating. I have an Earth Machine compost bin, and after a year of struggling to turn it with hoes, shovels, rakes and anything else I could find, the Yard Butler did the trick. I was able to easily turn the entire contents in just a minute or two. The "wings" do a great job of lifting material from the very bottom of the bin.
Not worth it   2010-04-22
By K. McDowell (Sacramento, CA)
The arms that are supposed to fall horizontal as you pull up stay stuck up, so it's basically a stick with a handle. Save your money.
