Back Yard Tumbling Composters

Tumbling composters have several advantages over the age old compost pile, particularly in urban and suburban locales.

If you live on a rambling acreage you can probably find an out-of-the-way place to heap your compost materials even without benefit of a composter, but it's a little awkward in a nicely landscaped, postage stamp sized yard.

A composting tumbler fits unobtrusively in a corner of a small yard reducing clutter and eliminating vermin attracting piles of open compost materials. Turning the composter daily, without need of a pitchfork or special compost turner, produces an odor free, moist and crumbly growing medium in a few weeks.

Tumblers are odor free and tidy as well as compact enough to fits in small yards. Additionally, because the tumbling composter is an enclosed unit it discourages pests from hanging around and retains moisture better than open varieties.

One thing though. Although promotional materials state that tumblers can produce a finished product in 2 weeks, it has been demonstrated that those claims are a little optimistic. Unless you grate or finely chop the contents before you put them into the composter the rate of breakdown is more like 2 months than 2 weeks. Still, the benefits are noteworthy.

The Tumbleweed composter is rated highly among users and is one of the least expensive models of tumbling composter on the market. Applauded for their ease of use, neat appearance and double ended access ports, users agree that the Tumbleweed makes composting easier and tidier.

Of all the tumbling composters available, none has been ranked higher by consumers and testing agents than the Tumbleweed Compost Tumbler
