The solid stainless steel axis rod running through the middle of the Tumbleweed Compost Maker creates an aerobic action that enables a quick and odorless form of composting. Put your kitchen and yard waste to work for you with a daily spin producing up to 8 cubic feet of earthy dark brown compost in as little as 21 days. It will take you about 10 or 15 minutes to fully assemble it, using only your hands and a pocket screwdriver.

To get started composting, just throw some material into the Tumbleweed compost bin and give it a spin. When the composter gets full and heavy, you can push down on one side and pull up on the other and still make it tumble without much effort at all. We were impressed with the way the stainless steel rod helped quickly break down the material in the composter with just a few turns, improving the already good compost tumbling action.  



Many people prefer tumbling composters because the design makes it easy to keep the compost turned and aerated. A well-aerated bin helps break down materials into ready compost faster. Your specific composting time depends on your mix of materials, moisture of the compost, weather, etc.
