Every backyard gardener needs a compost pile. But who wants a big, stinky mess to deal with? And, further, if you live in an urban area or are short on space, who wants to annoy the neighbors or be annoyed with a pile of kitchen and garden waste attracting bugs and critters?In order to remedy that problem and jump start you in making your own compost gold, today's giveaway for Urban Homesteading Giveaway Week is a Soilsaver Classic Composter.

- Includes a free composting guide
- Dimensions: 28"W x 28"D x 32"H

I could use this, too! Lynda
This would be a fun thing to try, I've always wanted to see ho wthey worked.
Thank you for another great giveaway!
ooooh Sweet!
Cool! Please enter me!
I would LOVE this! Been wanting one for so long... been using a cracked rubbermaid bin. Being green sure is hard when you're low on cash, and this would be amazing for the new garden space I've acquired for this summer!!! *fingers crossed* :-D
Thanks for the chance!!!
This looks great! jessjgh1 at gmail.com
Just started trying to compost so this would be awesome!
I was going to say that I never win---you know---but that would be too tacky when the prize is a compost bin.
This is for my wife.
I'd love this. One reason I don't have a compost pile is that I just can't take staring at it.
I've been wanting to start composting! This would help so much towards convincing hubby we should do it!
Oh man, I could really use this!
This would get used to death at our house.
Wow, you do have great giveaways! Please enter me :)
Please enter me. I've been wanting to try composting. This would be a great way to start.
Nice! I would love to add this to my yard for next years garden. Thanks!
I sure could use the composter!!!! Have tried and failed before-I think this could really help :)
Friday will probably mark the annual win my balls giveaway, after I go to the flower and garden show tomorrow. Cool giveaway this
Another great giveaway item - one we'd LOVE to win!!!
i would like to be randomly chosen for this prize. please feel free to randomly choose me.
I really need something like this!
Pick me! I could use this.
Very nice! I'd love a shot at winning that.
Much bigger and nicer to look at than my Rubbermaid tub. I'd love it!
Such great giveaways! I feel greedy!
Yes indeed, you have some fantastic giveaways. Thanks.
What an awesome giveaway!
Well, heck! Another great giveaway I must enter. I've tried composting in a pile, and it never works for me (I'm a bad compost mom).
so great--I've been looking for an outdoor composter!
I made one for myself, but I'd love to have a commercial one J. Walt Layne- The City Homesteader
What wonderful giveaways this week. This composter would definitely get used here.
I need this SO badly!! We are putting our house on the market and I have to get rid of my "unsightly" compost pile!
Thanks!!
Wow, awesome giveaways! How do you do it? Please count me in for a chance at this one. Thanks!
-Kate
Love all of these giveaways!
I have tried so many composters with minimal results. The tumblers are awful. This one looks like it might do the trick.
kirstencorsaro@mac.com
Thank you!!
Our old composting setup is on it's last legs. I sure would like to win this one!
thanks for the chance...!!
This would be a great compost bin to keep out pests! I hope I win :)!
Wow the giveaway items just keep getting better and better! Thank you so much for doing this.
Manuela
Thanks for the contest. Please let the random number generator favor me in this event. :)
I have kitchen scrap garbage just waiting for that composter. My fingers are crossed!
Have been wanting one of these! You can never have too many composters :-)
I can always use another composter!
Great giveaways...thanks!
What a great giveaway! I've been perusing the seed catalogs, lusting for a composter!
While my upcycled pallets work fine--the neighbors are not liking it. This one would be great.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh, yay!!! Thanks for another chance at a great giveaway!
This would be great for our family. We just started composing with a rubber maid tote.-aida
Love composting or chicken feeding, whatever the case may be.
As a true Urban Homesteader I had to give up my compost pile when my neighbors started complaining. It didn't smell, and we had no rodents, but they all claimed to be seeing rats. Mind you no evidence of rats, but hey that's the way it works in the City. I prefer direct compost methods to piles, but I would be willing to give a composter a try. :)
Our compost pile attracts raccons, and I'd rather not have them around- this enclosed solution is great!
What a great giveaway!
This would be great. It would be more attractive than my "compost trash can" we use currently. :)
Our homemade barrel composter bit the dust last fall. We are looking into new, sturdier ones...this looks interesting...
Composting is on my list to get start this year.
Holey swiss cheese, batman, you are having some seriously drool-worthy giveaways this week. Please enter me into the composter one!
That is a great giveaway. Since the squirrels have eaten large holes in my stacking composter, and are trying to do the same to the spinner, I could use another one. Sigh me UP!
I've composted a lot over the years but I've never tried one of these self contained units.
Another wonderful giveaway. This is an awesome compost bin. Would love to have it!
I could use that!
Another great giveaway - Thank you very much!
Sounds great! Please enter my name in the drawing. :)
Please enter me! Very nice composter - nicer than what I'm using now. Thanks!
I am definitely interested - we compost as a group and need additional space/place to compost
i would love to win this!
Count me in on the drawing!!
This would be great in my new garden space!
For the love of all that's holy, I would love this! Then my husband wouldn't be tempted to just toss perfectly good leftovers simply because he hates our tiny little compost jar.
pick me! pick me!
I would love to try this!
Wow! I love your giveaways this week! Throw my name in the hat, please.
I would love to have it!
Yes please!
Fabulous! We definitely need an upgrade on our composting methods! This would definitely help us out!
You've got me dreaming of dirt!
Another great item!
Me too! That composter looks great, and would make my garden even better!
Thanks for the chance!
Another good giveaway. What a fun week this has been!
wow! could really use this...
Seriously great giveaways this week! I don't have a compost bin as the plan has been for my husband to build me one...someday. :)
Maria

I have one of those big smelly compost piles and would love to hide it in one of these pretty boxes.

This would sure beat the pile and tarp thing we have going on now!!!
Love the "turning is optional" part - that is the biggest problem with me for composting - I need lazy compost! :)
Another great giveaway. Count me in. It looks like a great compost bin.
Luis

This looks like a great composter!
Oh gosh, please pick me internet Gods. I was just telling my husband we needed a different composting method.
oh, right now we have a giant ugly pile in the back yard. it's hard to get to in the snow, so we have a bucket on the front porch. this would be MUCH nicer.
Enter me, please! :)
Thanks!
I have a tiny bucket that is perpetually overflowing (at least I can say I am eating/drinking my veg these days) and annoying my husband. This might annoy him more, but I am eager to try it!
Composter would be a great mother's day gift!
This sounds great!!
Oh my goodness, pretty please! I have been lusting for one of these for ages, but just don't have room in the budget. Come on random number generator! Mama needs a composter!
I soooo need this!
I'm in on this one, too--can't miss such great giveaways :-)
Cost has kept me from purchasing a commercial composter, and my pile method isn't as effective as it could be. I would love to win this.
I'm throwing my hat into the pile!
I would love a composter for my backyard!
Oh, this is just what we need. Please enter me too! (Oh, you said to put my name here. Okay. It's Wendy.)
count me in. thank-you!
Oh My Gosh! What a wonderful giveaway! Hubby and I were just looking at one of these and saying how much it would save our senior citizen backs! He has taken to (shudder) throwing away compostables from our Urban Homestead because we can't turn a pile anymore. Pick us, please!!!
my blog: itsjusttoni.wordpress.com
I have a friend who would love this so I am going to enter for her.
This is perfect! :) I would love to have something like this. I keep putting off composting because we're renting & the neighborhood is not conducive to it, but I get so bummed when I see all the things going in the trash that I KNOW would make great compost. :) You do have some amazing giveaways! :)
Wow - the giveaways are awesome - love this too!
I'm dying to have one of these. Another fun project that I can get my kid involved with!
Waaaah! I wanna win this too!!
Awesome! just found this blog!

Would love to win this! :)
Awesome! just found this blog
OMG I've been wanting to get a compost for quite some time now...but ya know, if I were to win (setting the intention that this manifests), I would give it to my mom because she's been wanting to learn about composting and I think this would steer her in that direction (along with encouraging and inspiring her to grow her garden finally and start to live a more organic, healthy lifestyle). Thank you for offering this giveaway! :o)
Warm wishes,

Definitely interested. Your giveaways are crazy-awesome!
Cool, please enter me.
Very cool ... I could use this for sure!
This looks great!
It's a heck of a lot better than Root Simple's tire, but the back and forth posting was quite entertaining, and she called it spot on ROFL
I tried making my own pile in a rubbermaid with air and drainage holes drilledin it. But apparently that's just not good enough for *some* compost lol cuz it's just not doing much in there.
I totally need this!
Our worms just can't keep up, would love a bigger composter!
Need something like this that is a little neater than the mess that is currenly going on. Looks great!
This would com in handy for our first garden...
