I have a compost tumbler rather similar to this, but just one lid. I love it. It’s the best I’ve used (it’s my 4th composter). I wanted to buy a second, since, with chickens and a large garden/yard, I have plenty of stuff to compost! I was looking for the same tumbler as I had, but can’t find it. This is so similar I suspect it’s a newer version of what I have.
However, a couple of questions:
1) When one side is filled and the other isn’t, does it spin awkwardly on the base?
2) In looking at the Gardener’s Edge website, it says it collects compost tea, but the only holes are in the sides. How does it make compost tea of there’s no way for the water to exit the bin–or am I just not seeing holes in the bin?

Thanks

I have flowers everywhere in Webster, TX. I have always wanted to start a compost pile in our backyard but my partner doesn’t think it would look good so if I win the $50 I would be buying the compost tumbler! Thank you for this opportunity!

I garden on a teeny NYC balcony :) and all over my apartment. If I won I would buy the hot pepper wax, probably a little trellis for my jasmine, and definitely the soil analyzer

I garden outside Chicago. We are reworking our backyard and I would love to add the compost tumbler to the plan.
