Are you tired of that slowly rotting pile of compost that you have in your yard? We all agree that compost is a fantastic amendment for your soil that makes all of the plants in your garden grow better and healthier. But if you want to speed up the composting process you should really look into getting a compost tumbler.
Some gardeners believe that compost is better than fertilizer because it doesn't just feed your plants, it also improves your soil. Improving your soil keeps your plants healthier so they grow stronger and more capable of fighting off diseases or beating droughts. Compost is decomposed organic matter and is high in nutrients that plants love. Bacteria and other micro organisms help break down that decomposing organic matter and their short life cycles become part of the process itself. When they reproduce their offspring continue the process while the parents bodies break down and add to the organic matter. It's nature's way of recycling.
To speed up composting, you have to consider the amount of brown ingredients compared to the amount green ingredients. You also have to mix it all up to keep the pile breathing. When compost doesn't get enough oxygen it become anaerobic and that means it's going to smell bad. That bad smell comes from the by-product of anaerobic composting, methane. A well mixed compost bin will decompose aerobically and it's only by-product will be carbon dioxide and that means that your compost won't stink.
A compost tumbler is a great way to have finished compost ready to use when you need it. A compost pile doesn't too much decomposing during the winter. So at the beginning of spring when you're ready to start the gardening season is unfortunately when you have the least compost on hand. With a compost tumbler, you can get your compost ready sooner.
Or if you are a composter with a pest problem, the compost tumbler will keep the critters out of your pile. The most popular tumblers are sealed up and only have holes for air. If rodents or snakes have been problems for you in the past then the compost tumbler is the solution that you've been looking for.
So if you're worried that your neighbors might not like the looks of your compost pile, then why not look into getting a compost tumbler. They're great at making compost quickly and they'll also make a great looking addition to any yard. You really can't be the compost that comes from a compost tumbler.
