You’ve no doubt seen these composting drums advertised. They are high-quality, “last a lifetime” units, but the commercial models usually carry a price tag of $225 or more! If you’ve never used a compost tumbler, we HIGHLY recommend trying your hand at building one, before running out and buying one. Why? Because there is more to a tumbler than meets the eye.
Using a tumbler to make quality compost requires a daily commitment on your part. Each day, you must be willing to go outside and roll/turn/flip your tumbler several times. Drum composters convert yard waste to finished compost much faster than stationary compost bins do because they allow you to churn and instantly aerate the waste. Plus, drum composters are easier on your back. Check out this awesome article and make your very own, head to thecolemanhomestead.com here:
