Making compost is not difficult but it takes time. With tumbling compost bins or rotating compost bins we can make compost in the most efficient way possible.

With spinning compost tumblers we are able to make compost in a matter of a few short weeks. The design of these bins means they are one of the most efficient ways possible to make compost. They work so well for a number of reasons but chief among these is the fact that we are rotating the contents on a regular basis.

This is not hard to do. They normally come with a handle so it is simply a matter of turning it o mix up the contents. This evens out the temperature so that all the matter composts at the same time and also make it heat up to high temperatures. We are also chopping everything up finely which does nothing but improve the speed at which we can make our compost. (more…)

Any gardener or keen vegetable grower really should have heard about the urban compost tumbler.
Without doubt they are the absolute best way to make quality compost in as short a time as possible. We can make a fantastic crumbly mix in only two to three weeks with these fantastic machines. So how exactly do they do it?

Well, at the heart of the system is the tumbling action. This really is what makes it all work, and work so effectively. We will either rotate the drum manually or turn a handle which rotates or tumbles the drum. This really is what makes the compost tumbler so efficient. This action chops up everything very small which makes the compost process work as fast as possible. Then this tumbling will also evenly distribute the heat so that the whole barrel has an even temperature. By doing this we ensure that all the contents turn in to good compost at the same time.

This certainly does not happen on a conventional compost heap. (more…)
