Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Composting just got easier, faster, less odorous, and even more earth-friendly. The world's first continuous-cycle compost bin, the Earthmaker aerobic composter processes kitchen waste, grass clippings and more-twice as fast as traditional bins. Rather than having to rotate or stir material once a day, the Earthmaker requires easy, 10-second maintenance just once a month, producing up to 10 gallons of compost in just 4 weeks. The Earthmaker easily keeps up with kitchen scraps and grass clippings, adding vital nutrients to garden soil for healthier plants while reducing household landfill waste by 20 percent.

Best of all, the gravity fed design also means no more rotating or stirring messy compost every day. All you have to do is pull out the unit's chamber floor panel, just once a month, to let material drop into the next chamber. No more resetting the compost clock every time you mix fresh matter with half-finished compost, the Earthmaker's ingenious gravity-fed, triple-chamber design keeps fresh waste and mature compost separate, letting it tumble down and aerating it as it falls, so you can add fresh kitchen waste and remove mature compost any time.

The Earthmaker's super-efficient design keeps nearly-finished compost always on the bottom, sending warm gasses upward to hasten decomposition. Faster decomposition means fewer flies and mosquitoes as well as less smell and fewer greenhouse gasses for a healthier planet.

Depending on the season and climate, it takes just 3 months before mature compost can be removed from the Earthmaker. After the first batch is ready, the Earthmaker provides up to 10 gallons (35 liters) of excellent compost every month. The unit holds up to 123 gallons (16.5 cubic feet) of material, and measures 47 by 30 inches (height by diameter). The purchase includes a composting tool, user guide and instructions for quick, snap-together assembly without tools.

Product Description

The Earthmaker Aerobic Composter is the world's first continuous cycle compost bin with three chambers for faster results. The latest in composting - extra eco-friendly. Simply load the organic waste into the large top opening. The secure swiveling door keeps animals out. The interior triple chamber configuration provides faster results than traditional bins and keeps fresh waste and mature compost separate. This unit will make twice as much compost as traditional bins over the same time period. Aerobic action reduces flies and greenhouse gases. The Earthmaker is easy to assemble, no tools needed. Also easy to use and empty. Composting tool, user guide and assembly instructions included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Composter!, September 2, 2009
By Jack (FL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Earthmaker EARTH 120-Gallon Aerobic Composter (Lawn & Patio)
We are pretty new to composting, so I can't give a highly technical review, but I'll tell you what I can. Our family of 4 has owned this composter for 7 months now. I am really beginning to love this thing. Here's why..

-It's big. It doesn't look it in the picture, but it really is a good sized contraption. We cannot come remotely close to filling it up. Perhaps we have little waste as a family, but really, I cannot fill this thing up. Of course, we only have one leafy tree in our yard, so that may play a part.

-It's contained. Our dogs run and play around it, but have not seemed to care that it is there, so the odor must not be too tempting. (We put ours on top of nine 12" patio blocks.)

-It's Easy. If I forget to mix it one week, it's still fine. I also don't have to break my back to try and turn over a compost pile. I have back problems and that is a huge plus for me.

-It's pretty easy to Assemble.

It took about 2 months for it to really start composting, but now that it's started, it works great. My guess is it had to build up all the bacteria and such that breaks down the matter.

The only problem that I've really seen so far is that the first one we ordered had several broken pieces on it. We sent it back with no problems through amazon and the second one we got was fine.


All in all, I am very satisfied with this product and feel it was definitely worth the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is one big daddy of a composter!, December 10, 2009
By Nettie Scott (City of Brotherly Love) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Earthmaker EARTH 120-Gallon Aerobic Composter (Lawn & Patio)
I read a lot of reviews before buying this composter. So far I am happy with it, although I've only had it since this fall. It came together with no problems. The design seems sensible, although I will know that better as the world warms up next summer. I am learning that it pays to chop up household scraps before putting them in the composter, especially in cool weather. Organic materials do not break down easily or quickly if left too large. This composter is really big, so it can hold a lot of organic material. However, its not easy to hide due to its size, so be sure that you think about the dimensions when considering if it is right for you. The manufacturer thoughtfully included a small sample pack of a compost "cooking" mix.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality Item, March 1, 2009
This review is from: Earthmaker EARTH 120-Gallon Aerobic Composter (Lawn & Patio)
This is our first shot at being green and wanting to start composting. There are many options out there and prices are not cheap. This item came to our house promptly in a rectangular box. The unit comes in large pieces (4 sides, 4 splines, 2 shelves, 1 "stopper", a stirring tool, a 2-piece trap door for the top and a trap door for the bottom). Assembly was easy with 2 people and took about 10 minutes. Material is high quality plastic, similar to sturdy Rubbermaid garbage cans. There is no bottom to this barrel but the splines which hold the 4 sides together have little hooks at the bottom. My thought is that I may be able to anchor it to the ground with camping stakes and a wire of sort. We have black bears where we live (northern NJ) and I am not sure whether the smell of decomposing fruit and vegetable peels will be a temptation or not. Will do a follow-up review in the summer after a few months of use. But so far I am pleased with the unit (though I am not sure it is worth US$249 but that's another story). This is a very large unit indeed (we are a family of 6 so I am sure it will come in handy).
