One of my Spring Projects that never got done was to remove, from the top, the not yet composted material (on a tarp) and dig out the rest for use in my beds. Maybe next Spring....That's a lot of work.

Yes--I probably could get some palates from HD, but that would still look too crappy for around here.
Also--and you may not see it in the picture I posted above, to the left of the SEM, the ground goes UP. I would have to dig into it. I just cannot see any of this here...
Might be a good project for you that have handy hubbies---I am not a builder of any kind......:o(

As for rolling it--NOPE! The base is bolted to the pad. And--as this sits fairly near my Red Maple--there will be tree roots into the bottom of this composter from the tree. I remember that from last time I emptied it. They just grew up through the cracks between the pavers that are the base.

Here's a bit more distant shot of where this SEM sits. Behind it is my tomato bed.
To the left--up that small slope--I only have about 4'-- and then it is my neighbor's property line.
