Composting is one of the hottest trends in gardening.  Driven by a desire to conserve land fill space and to utilize organic fertilizer to the maximum extent possible, it’s no surprise literally millions or people are now composting.  Fueling the trend has been the recent introduction of a variety of composting devices that have replaced the traditional compost pile.  Now, instead of laboriously turning over a smelly compost pile in order to turn out compost after months of work, devices like composting bins, vermicomposters, and tumbling composters make the job quicker, cleaner and most importantly easier.

Compost Bins: You will see many variations on compost bins.  Their chief advantages are that they help store the heat generated during the composting process, speeding the creation of compost.  Additionally, they take up less space than a compost pile. The construction is simple, but durable so setup is a breeze and the bin will work for years to come.

Compost Tumblers: The major innovation in composting today is the tumbling composter.  These composters come in a variety of shapes and designs with each claiming to be better than the rest.  The principal behind tumbling composting is that the agitation helps break up the compost and aerate it.  Breaker bars inside the drum break up the compost as it tumbles down when the drum is rotated.  The resulting aeration then allows the aerobic bacteria to break down the compost materials more quickly and at higher temperatures.  The agitation also mixes the compost materials giving the resulting compost product a more consistent finish.   Compost Tumblers: Tumbleweed Composter | Urban Compost Tumbler 7.3 | Back Porch ComposTumbler 37 Gallon | Urban Compost Tumbler 9.5 | Compact ComposTumbler 9.5 Bushel | Original ComposTumbler 18 Bushel | ComposTumbler2 18 Bushel
