The Tumbleweed Tumbling Compost Bin makes turning food scraps, grass clippings and other materials into rich organic compost you can use in your lawn or garden. It's made with galvanized steel legs, dark, sturdy plastic and easy to open ends.
How much do these cost?
My father had something like this years ago. The main problem was, when there was quite a lot of material (fresh or composted) inside, it would accumulate at one end and due to its weight, would be almost impossible to spin.
This tumbler composter did a good job on a Youtube video called Testing Home Compost Units: Part 3 which tested a lot of different types of composters.
why do you need to spin it? a normal one just sits there and composts from the top down!
Looks horrible.
She says 0:24 Then 1:02? Why not just say keep it in a dark warm moist area
Can this thing also break down chicken into chicken tenders with a couple of spins? Didn’t know that was what broke everything down…!!!1
It looks like this would be easy to make by bolting together a couple of large garden totes. Neat!
I own two of these composters and in fact it does have vents on the lid top and bottom. They work great and I have even thought of getting a third.
This compost bin is vented at both ends in the lids. It gets plenty of air.
Thousands and thousands of these have been sold in the United States over the past decade, and it received a Member Recommended rating by the National Home Garden Club.
It does not look like this model would give the compost the amount of airflow that is neccesary, in fact I don’t see any air holes at all.
