The Tumbleweed compost tumbler has a neat, compact design makes it an ideal compost bin for any level composter with any amount of garden space. By giving the Tumbleweed a spin every few days, it's easy to create fresh compost. The 100% UV protected, recycled plastic is a dark green color. When the sun hits the dark compost bin, it heats up the contents inside, speeding up the breakdown process. A stainless steel bar going through the compost bin breaks up any larger clumps that might form, further helping the breakdown process. The galvanized steel leg base makes this composting unit extremely sturdy, no matter how heavy the compost inside gets. These legs won't rust, so the composter will last many years out in the elements. With dual-end twist lock lids, it's easy to add or remove material no matter which end is up. The locking lids also prevent any small animal pests from getting into the bin. The lids are also vented, keeping the compost aerated while allowing any compost tea to drain out into the soil under the bin. The Tumbleweed compost tumbler holds up to 58 gallons of materials while continuously breaking down kitchen scraps, yard debris and other compostable materials into rich, organic compost that plants will love.

• 58 gallon capacity for your leaves, grass and kitchen waste
• Steel frame design is easy to assemble stand.
• Stainless steel central rod will not rust and helps aerate each time it tumbles
• Dual locking lids have 4 vents to help provide needed oxygen to your compost

Why spend money on expensive fertilizers when you can create your own composting and reduce landfill waste as well? With a Lifetime Composter you can easily reduce, reuse, and recycle kitchen and garden waste into a rich organic soil conditioner. Compost helps retain the moisture in your soil and adds rich nutrients for healthy plants. The Lifetime Composter is designed with black, double-walled panels to absorb and retain the heat that decomposes the material. An internal bar mixes the compost and allows the flow of oxygen that is necessary to break down the material into a rich, black organic fertilizer for your garden. The lightweight 75 gallon tumbler easily turns on its axis for balanced rotation—saving you the time and effort of turning a compost heap with a pitchfork! You’ll also appreciate the extra large removable lid for easy filling and dumping.

Compost Pile

!±8± Compost Pile

Compost piles may be planned or they may just happen. In one very real sense the forest floor is a compost pile. Dig below the top half inch or so and you find compost formed and forming. What we think of as the compost pile is in its best form the carefully thought out imitation of what has been going on in nature since before the beginning of time.

There are both planned and unplanned compost piles around my home. The area where I prepare wood for burning and for wood turning has several pile of shavings and chain saw chips from cutting the wood. Some of these piles have been there for five years or more. At the bottom of these piles it is rich and dark and earthy smelling where the compost has formed. People think that it takes long years for wood shavings to break down but for many species of tree that is not so. At the lumber mill where piles of sawdust are high and the bottoms are compressed from the weight of tons of material, it may take a long time for composting to happen, but many trees are designed by God or nature, depending on your interpretation, to rot quickly. These are trees like the poplar and birch that come quickly after a fire and die and rot quickly to enrich the forest floor.

Some of these unplanned compost piles get used for mulch on the gardens. The rest are moved to the formal compost pile out back. This is a three compartment bin and what most would think of as a compost pile. Actually, it is more planned than strictly necessary. A pile of plant material will gradually rot into compost as long as it has moisture available. The bins simply make the organization easier and the appearance keeps my wife happier.

An organized pile composts quicker and may make better compost if it is ever possible to have bad compost. At the side of the bins is an informal pile of shavings from the wood turning to be used as brown material for the pile. Autumn leaves collected and piled would do as well as might old straw or the like. The first compartment stores material as it is gathered for the pile. Every addition of green material like garden waste or kitchen trimmings is matched with an equal amount of shavings. Gradually the compartment fills and when it has it is turned into the second compartment. I think of this turning which mixes the materials, adds air and allows for moisture to be checked as the real building of the pile. If I turn the pile from compartment two to compartment three and back again every three or four days, I can have finished compost in two to three weeks. Then it is time to make another compost pile.

A homemade compost tumbler can be useful in a few situations, maybe you don't want a compost pile in your yard, maybe piles just aren't allowed in your neighborhood, or you don't have the space. There is quite a few alternatives that can be used to make compost without having to use a pile. In this article I'm going to be talking about one way to do it, a simple homemade compost tumbler.

Homemade Compost Tumbler

1. Go to the hardware store and buy a plastic trash can. You'll probably want to buy one of the heavy duty "contractor" grade trash cans. One of the inexpensive trash cans isn't likely to stand up to the wear and tear that this can is going to be put through.

2. Fill the can with plant materials. Fill your can only about 3/4 of the way to leave plenty of air space. Try to put in a variety of materials, add them in layers of greens such as grass clippings, kitchen scraps, garden cuttings and other wet green materials, then add a layer of browns such as twigs, dry leaves, straw, wood shavings and other dry brown materials.

3. Push the can over and roll it around every day. Pushing the can over and rolling it will aerate and mix the contents of the can. Doing this every day will help the bacteria break down all the materials quickly, possibly creating finished compost in as little as two weeks.

Using a trash can to make a homemade compost tumbler is sort of a stealth way of composting. There's many more ways to compost materials, they just require a little creativity.

Some Compost Tumbler Tips

!±8± Some Compost Tumbler Tips

We've all been hearing about how composting is the right thing to do and how it is so good for the environment. So where do we start? Well, composting can be a very simple process, or, with a little effort and imagination, it can become something more elaborate and you can even be giving away or trading compost with your neighbors. And you'll probably inspire others to do the same.

To begin with, some things compost pretty well and good choices for composting, and others are not. The things that are good for composting are basic organic matter like grass clippings, leaves, kitchen food waste, and garden waste. Some things that are not good for composting are meat, animal fats, dairy products or animal feces. These things do not compost well, and also tend to attract vermin like rats and raccoons.

So how do we start composting? The simplest thing you can do to get started is to choose a particular place in your yard, preferrably out of the way, and just start piling up the compost material. If you want to get a little more fancy you can dig a trench, or set up some kind of bin with boards or pallets if they happen to be handy. Every week or two you can dig into it with a pitchfork or even a shovel and lift the decaying organic material from the bottom parts of the pile and turn it so that it gets exposed to air. It also helps to have the right amount of moisture. You don't want it too wet, but if it is just a little damp to the touch then that facilitates feeding of the microorganisms that break down the organic matter.

If you want to get really elaborate you can either purchase or make a compost tumbler. These devices greatly simplify the composting process and save a lot of work. They also prevent vermin from getting into your compost pile, which is definitely a big plus. The conditions in a compost tumbler are much more conducive for making compost in the shortest time, sometimes as little as 3 weeks if it is done right.

So give it a try, and you might just find it to be much easier than you at first thought.
