Envirocycle 52 Gallon Compost Tumbler

Featuring an innovative drum-and-base design, the Envirocycle 52 Gallon Compost Tumbler eliminates the back ache you often get from churning compost materials and makes it easy to transport compost to your garden. The compost drum and base are both made of durable, weather-resistant recycled plastic. The compost drum sits on top of eight rollers with metal rods that are positioned in depressions on top of the base. Easy-grip indentations make it very easy for you to rotate the drum and stir your compost materials without getting your hands dirty!

How to make solid compost with the Envirocycle Composter:
To add biodegradable materials to the compost bin, simply unlatch the lockable flip-up door and add a 50/50 balance of brown dry materials and green wet materials. (Brown materials include leaves, dry grass, shredded newspaper, and other natural products. Green materials include fruit and vegetable peels, egg shells, coffee grinds, and plant trimmings.) Securely close the door and lock the latches. Rotate the drum three times a week to ensure perfect mix and proper air circulation. When your compost has matured, you can simply remove the barrel from the base, place it on the ground, and roll it to any location in your yard. Unlatch the door or temporarily remove it completely to spread the solid compost on your trees, garden, and lawn.

How to make liquid fertilizer with the Envirocycle Composter:
In addition to solid compost, this efficient compost bin also produces liquid compost "tea." Small openings in the drum allow this rich organic liquid to drain into the base, which can hold up to 5 gallons of liquid fertilizer. When you're ready to tap the liquid, you can unscrew the central cap to drain it directly into the ground or unscrew the front cap and attach a garden hose or empty the base directly into a watering can. It's best to dilute the liquid with 10 parts water to create an effective fertilizer for your indoor or outdoor plants.

Designed for year-round use.
The Envirocycle Composter can be used all year round. During the winter months, move the composter into the garage, onto your balcony, or close to your home's door for easy access. Continue to add waste but don't turn the unit. Freezing breaks down fibers in organic material and will accelerate decomposition in spring. During the warmer months of the year, a typical cycle for finished solid and liquid fertilizer takes four to six weeks.
