Original ComposTumbler Compost Tumbler

A top pick for the serious gardener, the Original ComposTumbler Compost Tumbler produces and stores a large quantity of compost materials to sustain a healthy garden and landscape. Because of its smart, spacious design, this heavy-duty compost tumbler can produce compost in 14 days. You simply load the composter with food scraps and other organic materials, turn the drum every day for two weeks, and then remove your finished compost and nourish your soil as needed.

First designed nearly 40 years ago, this original compost tumbler can hold up to 28 cubic feet of compost materials, or approximately six 30-gallon trash bags full (about 180 gallons). The rotating drum is made of rust-resistant, galvanized metal with food grade plastic resin end caps. It sits 27 inches off the ground on a tubular steel frame protected by a black powder-coated finish. The gear-driven handle is easy to turn, and the drum stays securely on the frame during rotation.

The compost drum features aerator and drainage units on the door that allow fresh air to enter and excess moisture to escape so materials won't get soggy. Fresh air travels through the contained materials and flows out of the screened vents on the sides. As it does this, the air aids the decomposition process taking place in the essential heat core. The dimensions of the drum have been professionally calculated for maximum efficiency in building this heat core, which is why this compost tumbler can make compost in 14 days.

This compost tumbler is designed for serious gardeners. If you regularly accumulate five or six trash bags (up to 168 gallons) of compostable material every two weeks, then this composter is an excellent choice for you. Your garden will thank you.
