Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Drums used in our compost tumbler are reclaimed from the food industry, and reused, and may therefore have scratches and scuffs related to this previous use. By reusing this product we are preventing it from ending up in landfill, and also avoiding the energy consumption needed to turn it into plastic flake, remould it, and deliver it as a different product. Reuse is considered superior to recyling. It is a better, more ecologically sensible choice. For this reason we hope you will choose this greener product to other compost tumblers on the market.
Some of the unique features are:- Promotes rapid decomposition - mulch produced in weeks rather than months
- Valuable nutrients are retained within the bin and not allowed to leach into the ground as with traditional compost bins
- The two most important elements of composting Moisture and Heat are evenly distributed by the tumble action
| - No need for heavy forking or complicated layering techniques as the tumbling action takes the backbreaking work out of composting
- Very simple to put together using the instructions provided and the whole process should take only 10 minutes.
- Manufactured from high impact compacted UV treated polypropylene from 100% recycled UK plastics, and sits on a solid 100% British Recycled Plastic frame which will not rust or rot.
- The tilting action allows the compost to be simply tipped into a wheel barrow

How it Works -
Fill the Drum of the compost bin - This system is flexible, there is more than one way to go about it. As a rule of thumb for the fastest method - add about 1 part fresh green material (nitrogen producing) to 3 parts dry brown material (carbon producing). Ideal green material includes fresh grass trimmings, fresh leafy material, poultry and equine waste and kitchen waste. Ideal brown material includes dry leaves, wood, black and white paper and cardboard. To achieve the fastest results coarse material like cardboard and wood should be shredded first.
Rotate the Compost Drum –
Rotate the drum of the Compost Tumbler 2-3 times once a day, to ensure the contents are aerated and spend time in the hot centre of the Compost Tumbler. (By the way my 89-year-old mother can happily turn this tumbler while full).
Use the compost –
During the warmer months of April to October, compost can be ready after just 2 or 4 weeks with this compost bin. Mix it liberally with soil on anything you want to grow, or apply around the base of growing plants as protective mulch.
