design needs minor improvement

I bought one of these, filled it to about half, and turned it each day. Suddenly, it collapsed! I called the seller since it was only 1 month old, sent them photos and told them what happened. They said I didn't tighten the nuts enough when I put it together and sent new nuts. I think there is an integral design flaw- there should be some kind of locking pin instead of a regular nut at the main axle because the simple act of turning daily can loosen the nuts. The nuts are still sitting on my counter waiting because the thing is so heavy I have to roll it around and wait for everything to decompose before I empty it and put it back together. I will try to remember to come back with an update after I reassemble it and use it successfully for 6 months.

I'm not completely unhappy with it, but I do look forward to using it as it was intended.
