Description:

The vertical tumbling action of the drums creates an aerobic environment that offers a quick and odorless form of off-the-groundcomposting. The design features a rotating bin. The TumblingAction helps to break up and aerate compost with every tumble.Adailyspin of approx 3 4 turns produces a neat compost heap in about 35 to 60 days. As with all tumblers that are not physically contiguouswith the soil below, a compost starter / accelerator is recommended.

The unit is of a sturdy two chamber construction with hinge covers held in place with an easy to operate cam lock allowing for easyaccess when filling and emptying of the bin.

The product is constructed of a sturdy mild steel frame which is epoxy powder coated. The drum is manufactured from LLDP Sheetsensuring long life and heat insulation. Two sturdy Bearings ensure easy turning by one person.

When care is taken by putting only small pieces used alongwith a compost accelerator the compost time will be further reduced to 25 - 30 days. Also rotating the drums more oftenhelps to speed up the process.

Environmental reasons

Why do I need to compost when my waste will break down in landfill anyway?

Zero Waste:

Do your bit to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill. Even for households that are already composting, new research hasfound that almost half of the food waste in their rubbish bins could have been composted.Did you know, composting at home for just one year can save global warming gases equivalent to all the CO2 your kettleproduces annually, or your washing machine produces in three months?

When waste is sent to landfill the transportation process puts Co2 in the air, At the landfill site air cannot get to the organicwaste. Therefore as the waste breaks down it creates a harmful greenhouse gas called methane which is 20 times worse thanCo2 as a greenhouse gas.

Alternately when this same waste is composted at source, oxygen helps the waste decompose aerobically which means hardlyany methane is produced …good news for the planet.

The major goal of composting is to reduce the amount of solid waste you generate. Your solid waste is 90% air and water whenit leaves your home. Composting when complete will reduce it to 10% in volume.

Compost is a finished product that has several uses; in potted plants, gardens, traffic islands etc. The excess if any is a ‘ready tobe sold’ product.

The compost pile actually has a complex combination of living organisms; a food web. Bacteria and fungi primarily break downthe organic matter in the trash. Single-celled organisms (protozoa), small worms (nematodes), and mites feed on the bacteriaand fungi. Predatory nematodes, predatory mites and other invertebrates (sow bugs, millipedes and beetles) feed on theprotozoa, mites and nematodes. All of these organisms work to balance the population of organisms within the compost, whichincreases the efficiency of the entire process. Once the compost process is complete these organisms become dormant as theirsurvival conditions no longer exist.

Finished compost has the advantage of being a useful natural fertilizer that is more environmentally friendly than syntheticfertilizers. This is the base for all organically grown products. Your compost is a nutrient-rich food product for your garden andwill help improve soil structure, maintain moisture levels, and keep your soil's PH balance in check while helping to suppressplant disease. It will have everything your plants need including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and it will help buffer soilsthat are very acidic or alkaline. Compost improves your soil's condition and your plants and flowers will love it! Grow yourFavorite greens herbs etc. Have fun and the green leaves around you will add oxygen to the air we breath.

You can compost the following materials easily:

Wet waste:,

Garden waste

Dry waste:

Fruit and vegetable wastes - peels, skins, seeds, leaves Egg shells Coffee grounds (including paperfilters), tea bags, used paper napkins meat and dairy wastes Corncobs - should be shredded to make them breakdown quickly

Grass clippings - Some grass is okay, but too much will add excess nitrogen to the compost pile andmake it smell bad.

Leaves. Weeds, Woody materials (branches, twigs), Dry Grass or hay, Newspaper, Sawdust - This isan excellent source of carbon.
