There are a number of urban compost tumbler designs to choose from. The compost bin tumbler is available in all manner of dimensions, as you can see on the left. Depending on what you want from the urban compost tumbler there is bound to be one that is suitable for your needs.
Some can even produce compost liquid that you can drain out of a tap at the bottom. Compost tea can be very useful for giving plants or vegetables a boost during the growing season and should not be dismissed. It will perk up ailing plants and help to increase yields if you apply just a little instead of your regular watering schedule.
Deciding which design is best for you really comes down to what you have in mind. The best designs always incorporate our needs. If you want to be fairly large scale with your composting then I would certainly go for as large a compost tumbler as possible. The dual chamber urban compost tumblers can be very useful for making lots of compost. As soon as one chamber is full you move on to the next one and begin to fill it while you are waiting a few weeks for the first one to properly compost.
The dual chamber composting tumblers can be expensive though. If you are on a budget but know that you will be making lots of compost it may be more cost effective to purchase two cheaper bins. The prices are very low for some models so it could work out significantly cheaper this way. This is really worth considering if you have the space to do this. Having two bins means you will never have that two or three week wait while the composting bin finishes making the compost. You can just switch straight to the next one.
Deciding which urban compost tumbler is right for you really comes down to thinking ahead. Think about how you will be composting and also how you may make compost in the future. It is worth taking a little time to think it through properly, that way you will know you have purchased the right model for you.
