Questions & Answers

Can I compost cooked oat meal leftovers and cooked lentils? How can I check my compost is working?

Hello, I have only had this since Sunday- for 3 days and I can see the compost is not happening. It is not heating up and it is starting to look like rotting food. I added dried leaves to the kitchen scraps. I also added the organic compost starter that I purchased. Please, any advice would be helpful. I need this to work! It is only attracting flies so far!
Asked by: Teo
Be patient, it doesn't make heat overnight. Add a cup of water about every 3 days. A sunny location will speed up the process also.

I would like to know if the chambers are able to be disassembled, such to carry it easily. The containers seem to be too big .

Could you please send some photos of a composter not assembled?
Asked by: Mariale
The chambers can be disassembled, but it's very time consuming... and then you'll have to assemble it again, which is no quick task. If you're transporting the unit, your best bet is just to take the legs off and move the whole thing.

How wide is the opening?

How easy is it to get the compost out? Do you just turn and dump or scoop out?

Tumbling Composter with Two Chambers for Efficient Batch Composting is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 552.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love our composter I am really new to composting though my husband used to do it many years back. He was not at all happy about using a tumbler as he has always used a 3 box layout side by side and turning it manually. As we have gotten older he didn't want to compost because he didn't want to have to do the turning over anymore. Fair enough, so after reading a lot of reviews and doing some research I went and purchased this model without him knowing. We (both) couldn't be happier. We don't add the grass clippings from our property because it just wouldn't fit (large rural property) but it is big enough for all our other garden scraps and left over food scraps. I've been turning it every couple of days for the past 6 weeks and it's looking good. Will have to wait a little longer as we only just stopped adding things within the last week and started filling the second container. We love this tumbler. Also was a great price with Home Depot and free shipping....very happy!

It does work well at keeping pest out. Couple tips: - Keep up with turning it. Since my compost consists of mostly greens it tends to be wetter and heavy. If I didn't turn it regularly it would settle to a solid mass and take a bit of effort rocking it back and forth to loosen it before I could fully turn the barrel. - It will drip nasty compost juice so be mindful of where you put it. - The grooves for the handles will hold water so keep that in mind if you live in a rainy or mosquito prone area. - I used Rust-Oleum Stops Rust on all the nuts and bolts since some reviewers had problems with rust. - The opening is small so don't expect to dump large amounts in without getting it everywhere. I can't comment on how quickly it works. Since I have more greens it takes longer to compost in general. One piece had broken during shipment and the company was quick to respond to an email and send out a new piece.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from If your compost isn't good - it's not the composter's fault!! To all of the people who say the holes don't line up: You're obviously putting it together wrong! The instructions are hard to understand, but in the instructions there's a website to go to with better instructions. Use it! It took a while to put together, but it wasn't hard. To everyone who has problems with their compost: It's not the composter's fault! You can literally compost in any container, so if your compost smells or is really wet, it's not the composter's fault - it's your fault. If it's too wet and smells, you need more dry material. If it's too dry, add more wet. You can't just throw only food scraps into the composter and expect it not to rot and be gross. There are thousands of videos and posts about proper composting - watch them! Don't blame the composter when it's actually user error. I started my compost with dirt, paper, leaves, sticks, and pine needles, then I added the food scraps. You can add manure and other things to add extra nutrients too, but just make sure there's some variety! As far as I know, you can't make compost with just food scraps and nothing else. This composter has been doing a great job of mixing!!

It's holding up beautifully and works really well once you get past the learning curve of composting. My biggest tips for this particular composter are that compost starter is your friend, and so is the SUN. Heat breaks things down faster, so putting this black beast in the sun really speeds up the composting process. The first couple of years I had it in a shady spot and it was sloooooooooooooooooow going. Like, it took ages to get anything out of it. But now I have it in a sunny location, add a little water regularly (I live in a warm, dry climate), and now we're in business. The "weeks" claim is still a bit optimistic, but a couple months and you've got something. Criticisms? It can be a little difficult to turn, especially when fully loaded. Some sort of handle that protrudes would be easier than the depressions for grip. And the depressions, if not hosed out regularly, become bustling nurseries for pods of black widow eggs in my area. All in all, though, I love this thing, and it remains the longest running, most fun science experiment in our family.

I am pleased with the quality of the composter and it met my expectations. I like that it has a stand to keep it off the ground and I like that it has two compartments. I am very happy to be able to compost my kitchen scraps, garden leaves and twigs without bagging and bringing to dump.

Instructions are not detailed and there are A LOT of screws but it is relatively easy to assemble (if have all the parts). I do not recommend because if anything goes wrong (missing part in my case) there is no support from this manufacturer.

Assembled easily enough, although there's a few places where the screw holes are placed right next to securing pegs or other protrusions on the inside of the container, which made them harder to install. Door does not slide easily and frequently catches on the center divide between the two chambers.

Purchased for my retired father, he said it is Easy to assemble and took less than an hour to to set up but there are so many screws to keep track of - so make sure to work on a flat surface. This is his first compost tumbler so it is the perfect size for a beginner. It is easy turn and to empty.
