5.2 Tumbling and Aeration

The tumbling design speeds up the composting process by ensuring fully aerated compost materials. The black compost tumbler absorbs heat from the sun, allowing for a 6-8-week composting process in warm temperatures. Just fill it up and give it a spin every couple of days; no digging or hand mixing is required. The well-designed air vents and deep fins accelerate air circulation by breaking up clumps inside the chamber and mixing oxygen throughout the compost.
