Tools and Hardware Reviews of Composter/Composter Tea Maker Spins and Tumbles
Customer Review: I LOVE THIS COMPOSTER
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked long and hard for a composter. One of my personal restrictions was size as I have a very small area in which to make my compost and it is on cement, not dirt. - I live in a condo.
After the looking and looking for a period of about a year I found and and bought the Envirocycle Tumbler for myself at home and one for my work place. Let me say I couldn't be more pleased with both. It takes up so little space yet produces BEAUTIFUL compost in short order- just as it promised. I use mine for kitchen scraps as well as plant waste. All break down nicely and only some of the larger pieces are sifted out and need longer to turn into a mature compost. I do live in Southern California so extreme cold is not a problem, however in my internet searches of blogs etc. I have seen quite a few of these in pretty cold climates. They either use them in covered areas, a garage or basements in the winter. This unit is very easy to move - even when full. All you need to do is roll it off it's base then on to it's destination. There were other insulating methods used but since I didn't need that I did read further.
This composter also has the SUPER COOL added benefit of collecting compost tea which for any gardener is a MAJOR BONUS. This was one factor that contributed a great deal in my decision to buy this product. Another reviewer had theirs leak - unfortunate. (wonder if the cap was on tight enough?) I have not had (or read about) any problems with leakage, which is not to say it doesn't happen. - I'm just saying, I know of, or own 6 of these units and I have read post of countless others- I remember no leaking mentioned. Now not everyone collects the tea (although I can't comprehend why one wouldn't) - if you don't want to collect the tea you simply leave the plugs (that come installed) in the unit. This keeps the bottom of the unit sealed. Done! no tea- no leaking. One thing I did do after the first year or so is elevate the unit on some cinder blocks. I found that by doing this I can harvest the tea more easily and there is no need to remove the drum to pour the content of the reservoir. As an added bonus it's easier to turn a little higher.
[...]
I now have 2 of these and as I said really couldn't be happier. You can buy two of these units for less than most any other 2 compartment tumblers. I think these are made of Recycled Plastic? -not positive, but thy ARE recyclable at the end of their life span- another factor that helped in my initial decision.
I've had my first Envirocycle Tumbler for at least 2 years now and it shows very little wear or signs of aging. The one we have at work does show some signs of aging but it has been left in full sun all day, everyday - all year (not the best idea).
Additionally, I later found information on this company and have since had dealings with them and they are REALLY, REALLY GREAT. The drum for my second unit that I purchased was warped. I didn't even notice until I filled it and tried to turn it. By that time I'd had the unit for 4 or 5 months (or more) as I was re-doing the garden are and had not set it up yet. I contacted the company (through the seller)and they replace the faulty drum immediately- no questions asked. I did not have to go through hoops or return the old one. They just sent me a new drum at no cost to me. The only thing they asked of me was to recycle the old drum- I now use the old drum to store compost as I empty my units if I don't need it right away so I can free them up to start a new batches! They seem to truly believe in doing good for the planet. [...]
Note that in my research I was also looking for one for work that did not have the size restrictions. We since have acquired (gifted) another larger unit we also use at work but the Envirocycle remains in full production along side that one.
I recommend this product to anyone who composts or wants to start- seasoned or newbies
That's not garbage that's food for my plants!
Thank you Envirocycle!
Description of Composter/Composter Tea Maker Spins and Tumbles
Rolling Composter and Composteamaker Spinner for organic kitchen scraps and yard waste. This excellent compost bin solves the issue of keeping your compost turned. Throw away your pitchfork, because now you can turn your compost simply by spinning the drum. Even better, the base of the composter collects liquid, so you can produce 5 gallons of compost tea with no additional effort! Compost tea is full of nutrients, and a great way to perk up everything from vegetables to flowers to houseplants. You can also configure the base to just drain the liquid into the ground if you prefer. When you are ready to remove finished compost to spread it on your lawn or garden, you can simply roll the tumbler to the area where you want the compost, open the door, and remove the compost from the compost bin. To remove compost tea from the base, you simply roll the compost tumbler away, and then pick up the base and open the drain to pour your compost tea into a bucket, or directly onto your garden or houseplants. The base has eight rollers so you can easily spin the tumbler. The composter takes about four to six weeks to create ready-to-use compost under normal conditions, or just two to three weeks in ideal conditions. It can easily handle the amount of organic waste suitable for composting generated by an average family. The composter can produce 450 to 900 pounds of compost per year, and has a volume of 7 cubic feet. Yard waste makes up 25 to 50 percent of all municipal waste! Don't throw away material that will help you make the richest, most fertile soil available. Dimensions The height of the composter is 29 3/4 inches, length is 26 1/2 inches, and depth 21 inches. Capacity: Holds 7 cubic feet of materials -- approximately 53 gallons. The compost bin has a shipping weight of 24 pounds and comes in a carton that is L 26" x W20.5" x D 31.5". The tumbler is even made of recycled plastic and is made from 100% food grade plastic.Categories Tools
