In The Words Of The Manufacturer:
Composting can be hard work, because to get efficient composting action, your batch should be mixed and turned frequently. In fixed composters this becomes quite a chore, because turning the batch is a real effort. (we know because we've done it). So we developed a composter that's easy to fill, easy to turn in place (without needing to roll around the yard), and with a lot of efficiencies to help break down compost fast.
Fully Assembled
Arriving in two pieces, just set the drum on top of the base, and you're ready to start turning your compost. You won't spend frustrating hours (or days) trying to put together a bunch of parts.
Large Capacity
The composting drum which is positioned on the turning base holds 12 cubic feet of material. This size is ideal for heat generation and quick material breakdown. As your batch breaks down, you'll find an increasing space to add fresh material, or you can replace the batch with a new one within weeks.
Easy to Fill
A large 16 inch twist off lid provides easy access for filling, and dispensing compost. This threaded lid is easy to remove, yet prevents animals and pets from getting at recently added kitchen and garden scraps.
Easy to Turn
Glide bearings on base allow composting drum to rotate freely, while keeping it cradled in position for easy rotation. Recessed handles on sides of composter provide gripping points for turning the batch.
Air Ventilation
A good batch of compost needs air to accelerate the process. We've positioned 72 end air vents, and a two-way breather valve on the lid provides air movement from end to end and throughout the composting batch.
Made from Recycled Material
We use 100 percent "pre-consumer" recycled polyethylene plastic to make our composter, and the black color will absorb heat of the sun for optimum composting benefits.
There are a lot of other options out there on the market including your ability to make your own composters. Please reference the composting web page to learn more about composting and making your own.
