Rotating Composters

The rotating composter has grown in popularity tremendously of late and there are so many reason why it is hard to know just where to begin. Apart from the low prices that are now available the fact that they are simply so efficient at what they do means that they are perfect for anyone who wishes to improve the quality of their soil for growing vegetables or growing garden plants.

Here I would like to remind the readers of just some of the many reasons why urban compost tumblers are a must have for anyone who takes an interest in their soil.

Why A Rotating Composter?

Traditional compost heaps are messy. They spill the contents on to the ground, they can smell, and they attract vermin.

With a compost tumbler we eradicate all these problems. The rotating composter is a sealed unit apart from for ventilation so it keeps everything contained neatly. No animals can gain access to the contents so we do not get the contents strewn around our land as can happen with a normal compost heap. We also do away with the smells which can be such a problem in enclosed and limited spaces if we have an open compost heap.

Of course all of these benefits pale in to insignificance when we take a look at the main benefit of using a rotating composter.

The speed with which we can make compost.

The rotating compost tumbler can make very high quality compost in a matter of weeks. Time and time again we have heard success stories of countless people making perfect compost so rapidly they find it hard to believe. The process is speeded up tremendously because of the main design elements of urban rotating composters.

Because the designs work on the basis of rotating the contents via  handle or turning the drum we are chopping up the contents finely every time we perform this action. On top of this we are evenly distributing the heat which means that all the contents will turn to quality compost at the same time. We wont have cold spots like we often do with a conventional compost heap. There is no manual turning of compost like with traditional methods. This saves us a lot of back breaking work while at the same time giving us much better results in a much reduced amount of time.

The fact that the contents are contained and turned easily and regularly will mean we get the contents very hot very quickly which gives us the desired compost in such a short space of time it is nothing short of miraculous. If you want great compost in record time then you really should invest in a rotating composter.
