Description:

Tumbleweed Compost Tumbler - Recycled Plastic

Made from 100% recycled plastic, this patented Tumbleweed Compost bin has a patented vertical tumbling action. The vertical tumbling action of the patented Tumbleweed Compost Bin (200003BLK), designed with a stainless steel rod running through the middle, creates an aerobic action that offers a quick and odorless form of composting. It also has sturdy, galvanized tubular steel legs that won't rust that hold up the composter. The steel in these legs is made with recycled metal (as available). The recycled content varies between 17 and 20 percent.

A daily spin will produce earthy dark brown compost in as few as 21 days. Your specific composting time depends on your mix of materials, moisture of the compost, weather, etc. For the best results, we suggest using 75% dry ingredients (leaves, grass clippings, shredded newspaper) and 25% moist waste (vegetable scraps, dead flowers, etc). The composter will work with any blend of organic materials, but it may take longer to complete the process.

Easy Filling and Emptying:
Two animal-resistant twist lock vented lids at either end, providing maximum aeration

Stainless-steel Rod:
The stainless steel rod through the center helps quickly break down the material in the composter with just a few turns, improving the already good compost tumbling action

Simple Assembly:
It will take you about 10 or 15 minutes to fully assemble this unit, using only your hands and a pocket screwdriver

Product Reviews

Tumbleweed Compost Tumbler - Recycled Plastic 4 5 1 1

Exceeded my expectations! The stainless steel center rod is much more robust than I thought it would be. It is a solid SS rod, not just a tube. The hardware included seems to be ready for several years of service. The lids have very good engagement, and can be removed one handed even with some accumulated crud in the slots. The ventilation slots are thin enough to permit only the smallest flies from entering and exiting, but large enough to resist the accumulation of crud. Spinning it is quite easy even with 50 lbs of compost inside due to the way the weight is carried and where you are spinning from (50 lbs of compost probably takes 25 lbs of force to spin).My only complaint is that the legs seem to be a little on the underdesigned side. They are galvanized mild steel. They should last a long time, but this remains to be seen for me.One recommendation I have is to buy two of them, fill one for a month, then leave it to sit for a month while you fill the other one.All around awesome product at a very good price compared to other systems!
