Product Description

The Compact ComposTumbler takes your kitchen and yard waste and turns it into rich compost in weeks, instead of months (or even years). This composter was designed for suburban gardeners and homeowners with smaller properties. The barrel holds 22 cubic feet (9.5 bushels, 88 gallons), leaving plenty of room for fruits, vegetable, grass, leaves and any other organic matter you may have. A large door opening and gear driven handle made it easy to use. It has interior fins to help mix the material as it turns. Composter's assembled dimensions are 43" H x 42" W x 33" D and it weighs 60 lbs. empty. Made of rust-resistant galvanized steel for long life. Its sage green color allows it to blend into your property. Comes with a 2 year warranty on all parts

Heads up on assembly of Mantis Compost Tumbler
4 Stars
Heads up on assembly of Mantis Compost Tumbler
I gave the Mantis CTO2001 Compost Tumbler 4 stars because of the amount of assembly required, see photo. When the Mantis compost tumbler arrived it came in a flat square box. I thought to myself a box is missing that contains the tumbler this box must be the mounting hardware. I ordered a smaller tumbler and that's how it shipped. To my surprise the Mantis tumbler came as flatware all in one square box requiring a lot of assembly of which a extra pair of hands would been a great help. Nowhere that I can remember being mentioned the amount of assembly required. It's all put together and will come back to update how it works.WARNING: The door of the composter between the aerator caps can be warped if not careful when closing the door, it happened to me and I had to hammer out the two center warps before I could close the door.Update 5/27/16 Mantis gave birth to her first load of compost about 30 gallons sifted in wheelbarrow, now it's time she get knocked up again.FYI Compost Tea Waste:My old and smaller compost bin has a collection tank for compost tea. When I purchased Mantis there was no collection for compost tea that dripped out and onto the ground. I added two collection plates at each end of the composter and collect the tea that I funnel into a gallon milk jug. The amount you see in the jug is collection from a 24 hour period. Now and then my tomato plants have a party and I serve their favorite drink "compost tea."4/24/2016 UPDATE: Yesterday loaded composter with green, brown and table waste. Using the recommended 4/1 ratio of green and brown using a 5 gallon bucket as my measuring spoon worked very well. This morning before turning the tumbler I checked the temperature with my compost thermometer reading a "HOT" 140 degrees.
