Testimonials

"The success story is that the compost is really rich, a black soil, slightly moist to the touch, really earthy smell, this is a great smell, hard to explain, but real earthy. No odor is coming from either ComposT-Twin side. The completed compost side or the filling side. This is really great."

Brenda A - Mississippi

I am so pleased with Mantis! I sent in my broken tines as you directed and they were replaced in accordance with the lifetime warranty on them. The new ones came Parcel Post yesterday. Impressive! You can be, and I am sure, are, very proud to be working for an honorable company with fine products. I will probably end up buying a new tiller, even if I fix my old one!"
