Product Description
Our RotoComposter Compost Tumbler takes the backbreaking effort out of turning your compost. You won't need to struggle with forks or shovels trying to tear apart a packed, root bound brick of material. With our compost bin you can make rich, high quality compost from your garden, yard, and kitchen waste in just weeks.The large capacity compost drum rotates on a stable base providing quick and easy mixing. Just turn it about once a week to keep oxygen, nutrients, microorganisms, and moisture evenly distributed throughout the developing batch. Our composter arrives fully assembled so you won't spend frustrating hours putting it together, and it's low profile (on ground) means you won't need to lift materials high in the air to fill it. With this simple design, you can begin turning your garden and kitchen waste into valuable organic material in just weeks. Molded from recycled polyethylene plastic, it measures 36 inches x 28 inches x 31 inches and holds 12 cubic feet of material. The rotating drum can be removed from its base and rolled to your desired area for filling or dispensing. A 16 inch wide twist-on lid provides easy loading and unloading of small and large material. The vented lid and 72 end vents circulate air within the batch to accelerate composting, and three recessed handles on the side of the drum make turning a manageable task. RotoComposter Compost Tumbler arrives fully assembled and is backed by a 1 year manufacturing defect warranty. Fully assembled for one minute setup. Made in U.S.A.

This review is from: Good Ideas 12-Cubic-Foot Compost Wizard (Lawn & Patio)
If you have a local Tractor Supply Company, the large 12 cubic foot roto composter sells for $159.99 plus tax. Much cheaper!!!

I received this product about two months ago and have been pleased with it. It required no assembly, which was very convenient. Open the box, cut the packing tape and it's ready. The vessel is about half full now and I find that I can turn it easily (5'3 average size woman). Friends who have conventional (non rotating or tumbling) composters are very impressed with the ease with which it turns. I have been filling it and turning it according to what I have read about building composts and it seems to be working fine. Just yesterday I opened the compost and was pleased to find that it was steaming and that it did not stink! My only minor criticism is that the lid can be a little difficult to position properly for closing. It's slightly annoying but I still recommend the product highly.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Good Ideas 12-Cubic-Foot Compost Wizard (Lawn & Patio)
I bought this thing when Amazon offered it as a Gold Box deal. I am very pleased with this purchase.
It arrived a few days later and was easy to assemble: place mount on ground and drop barrel on top. That's all! The barrel is accessorized with rollers to help with the tumbling. This thing looks so much better in the back yard than my tin garbage bin that I had been using as a composter, and the dogs have an impossible time tipping it over. This is a good thing for gardeners who live with raccoons and other compost-eating garden visitors. The barrel didn't even budge when we had a recent wind storm. I placed compost in this barrel the day the barrel arrived. The stuff gets hot in the sun, even on cooler days, but when the compost is wet I have a hard time turning the barrel over. My husband said I have too much "soil" in it but the tumbler is not even half full. The indentions on the barrel are often hard to hold on to while trying to tumble this thing. I learned, however, that you don't need to turn this barrel completely over to turn the compost around inside. I like this product and am glad I added it to my garden. The black container heats up fast, the compost stays warm and moist, it keeps the decomposing smells down and it looks attractive. One disadavantage is getting the stuff out when it's done! Update 2/13/11: This tumbler is still going strong! No color fade, no tears, no dry rot. I have mastered the art of tumbling this heavy thing. It has yet to be knocked over by any of our dogs. I am glad I bought this. I wish I could afford a second one.
