i have not actually used it, just read reviews. it looks like it will work well and keep critters out. it's cute and i think my daughter would freak out and love it. we are house hunting right now so if we move and i get one i will post about it :)

I can't leave an exposed pile either, and I have a tiny yard. I accumulate about a gallon at a time, then dig a hole about 18" deep in the yard and bury it. Takes about 5 minutes, starting with the cultivator to loosen the soil. I bury in a different spot every time, which means it's spread around.
Weeds and dead stuff are dried out in a pile(this does not attract pests), then compacted in a 5-gal bucket, then buried with kitchen waste.

This year, my flowers are 10-50% larger than last year in the areas that got the most compost over the last year. Daisies that grew to less than three feet tall last year are over 4 feet now, and they'll bloom for another 2-3 months.
I can't be more thrilled with the results, after 3 years, of burying my compost. I put out less trash than any of my neighbors, and have a garden they all admire.
