About this item
- Made in Canada from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic - The original 8-sided dual chamber tumbling composter.
- TUMBLING COMPOSTER – Avoid digging and mixing your compost pile by hand. The tumbling design makes mixing easy and efficient. Just close the door and turn it 5-6 times every 2-3 days. In hot sunny conditions and with a proper balance of ingredients the compost can finish in as little as 2 weeks.
- EASY TO USE – Fantastic for beginners! The large openings and removable door make it easy to add scraps/clippings and remove finished compost. Deep fins on the body provide great ergonomic handholds.
- TWO COMPOSTER CHAMBERS ARE BETTER THAN ONE – Two separate sides allow the first side to finish while leaving the second side available to add fresh scraps/clippings. Continuously swapping sides after finishing will create an uninterrupted flow of rich, healthy compost.
- EXCELLENT AERATION – All our composter models feature aeration holes as well as deep fins to break up clumps inside the chamber and mix lots of oxygen into the compost. Tumbling composters allow far greater aeration than standard models.
- DURABLE CONSTRUCTION – BPA-free, UV-inhibited, 100% post-consumer recycled polypropylene is contact safe and will not degrade under direct sunlight. The galvanized steel frame is corrosion resistant.

Perfect Size: One of the first things that attracted me was its size. It's just right for a backyard garden or even a small urban space. With a capacity of 37 gal, it's able to handle a considerable amount of organic waste without taking up too much room.
Quality Build: The construction of this compost tumbler is impressive. Made from durable materials, it can withstand outdoor elements without corroding or breaking down. The sturdy design ensures that it will last for years, making it a worthwhile investment for any gardener or environmental enthusiast.
Affordable Price: I think it is priced well. Most others are over $100.
Easy to Use: Another aspect I appreciate is design. The large opening makes it easy to add kitchen scraps and yard waste, while the tumbling mechanism requires minimal effort to turn.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. It's the right size for my needs, built to last, and comes at an affordable price point. If you're looking for an efficient way to compost organic waste and enrich your garden soil, I highly recommend buying this.
Make sure that you have the panels locked in by slipping the panels under the slots and holding it there while you put the top bolts on and then the sides.
This went together fairly easy, but make sure you have help or you will go crazy trying hold everything in place and bolting it together.
It works as the manufacturer say's.

It is bigger than we thought but it fits perfectly in our townhome "yard" with enough drum space to make / store compost. We've used other composters and learned the importance of having enough "browns" and "greens" to get it up to temperature, and so long as we apply that knowledge, I have no doubt that this one can get up to a decent heat.
It spins easily (reminds me of "The Price is Right" gameshow) and the cover over the compartments slides securely. If you look closely at the indented 'handles' you see two small holes for aeration. The side vent is a little flimsy... You can turn it so that the holes are covered but it's not a snug fit so I wouldn't count on this to do much. The base (leg assembly) is sturdy, as is the whole thing - very solidly built. Will make the perfect amount of compost for a couple of 4'x4' boxes over time.
Right now, we have it placed in a fairly sunny spot and it will remain there throughout the year since we live in a temperate climate. Will provide an update once we've made some finished compost. We've got it started with green 'scraps' from the kitchen and garden plus peat moss added as our 'brown' for balancing the mix. Let's see how it goes! So far, we like this one.

It's an incredibly solid machine and very clever. The assembly is time consuming but IF you were to pay for it to come in one piece it would cost a fortune.
WARNING: You shouldn't have kids around while you put it together. ..nasty words will fly out of your mouth.
1●●Be certain you make sure the vents face up when you start.
2●●The FIRST PANEL goes into place to the right of that first space and then continue one at a tine.
3●●● Most important AND frustrating, make sure the center separator fits in the panel grooves or you will have to start over.
4●●The two long screws are for the shafts to secure to the legs.
It is a great machine !!
SECOND UNIT:
Learned a lot from the first. Still the best Composter for any money. I wanted to address the water in the compost mix issue. Each panel has tabs at the top to fit into guide holes in the previous panel. IF each panel tab IS NOT inserted into these guide holes, they in turn become weeping holes which guide rain water in. Personally l also opted for using 100% silicone putty at each panel joint...little extra for huge return.
THE MAIN TOP is about the partition wall.
With the second unit l decided l didn't need the composter to be divided into two halves. It sounds good on paper but l can load our new unit with no divider, faster with no problem. PLUS, the partition wall is NOT a structural entity. It can be left out which also greatly facilitates assembly. In fact l even cut away the dividing bar at the door opening to make access easier both at loading time and emptying the compost when done.
This machine is designed to end up rigid as a tank. Once you made it as waterproof as possible you will not have any weight problem. It's like any other gardener project where you learn new tricks as you go. THIS has been a great addition to having a healthy garden growth without chemicals.
