Buying Tumbler Compost Bins

After being finally convinced just how efficient tumbler compost bins are it is important to make the right purchase. There are urban compost tumblers for all budgets. For a look at reviews of the best you can read my compost tumbler review post. The tumbler compost bin is perfect for both urban and rural environments and choosing which one you will buy should be based on how it will be used. You certainly want to make a purchase that will suit how you compost and how much organic waste you produce.

See the review page just mentioned for what I believe is the best composter or if you have already done an awful lot of reading today then as far as I am concerned the best composter is the Achla cmp-05. I won't go in to all the reasons again but the fact that it is both cheap, has excellent reviews and it is horizontal means it is hard to beat. What this post is about is buying tumbler compost bins, and more importantly from where. It is not difficult to know where my loyalties lie but there is a very good reason for it. I have added links to my top pick because they are in my opinion the best source for compost tumblers. I have added the links so you can go straight to the products and make comparisons and shop in safety.

There are other places to make compost tumbler purchases but after I spent a lot of time looking ofr the best prices and the best selections I really only came up with this one place where you had lots of choice. Added to that they are the cheapest so there is no better place to buy. If you find one you like then buy it from them. Don't waste hours trying to find cheaper prices because you won't. I wouldn't recommend them if I thought there were better deals for people. A returns policy is also very important and I know from experience that theirs is the best.

My advice is find one you like and but it straight away. I often regret seeing something and then getting sidetracked. It means I put off what I could have done much quicker. If you want quick compost, which will happen with a tumbler compost bin then you need to actually have it before you can get started. Composting is such an important part of our life that I forget that some people are just starting down the road to making their own compost. There really is nothing like it. The sense of satisfaction at knowing you have turned what would have otherwise been thrown away in to something so healthy for the garden or veg plot is great. I love the fact I can make free compost from my waste. My advice, get started straight away. It is one purchase you will never regret. Making compost can become something of an obsession though so be careful not to bore your friends too much!

When buying tumbler compost bins make sure you follow some of the advice I have given here. If you don't want to read through the old posts then here is a quick recap:

  • Buy a dark color

  • Get a horizontal model if you have a slight build or have plenty of space

  • Get an activator if you want really fast results

  • Get one large enough for your needs (or 2 cheap ones)

  • Start composting asap


Just ensure you buy a composting tumbler that is right for your needs. I recommend horizontal models as they are easier to turn. If you are strong or like a few minutes of physical work a few times a week then get a vertical model. A few people have mentioned that when the composting tumblers are quite full some are difficult to rotate. This is why I talk about the horizontal model so much. Personally I like exercise so it isn't a problem for me. Just choose what you think is better for the lifestyle you lead.

Tumbler compost bins are a great addition to the household. Just ensure you get one soon and start composting with passion.
