Default Urban Compost Tumbler - Fact or Fiction?

Every gardener knows that good soil is a key success factor for a great
garden. They also understand that organic matter is the most important
component to creating great soil, and adding compost to your garden
soil is the best way to get organic matter into your soil.

Last fall I purchased the Urban Compost Tumbler. When I saw it in the
magazine, I thought what a great way to increase my compost production.
As the ad stated, I was going to have compost in less than two weeks.
What a joke.

What I have found is that the organic matter sits in the tumbler all
day long and just cooks. It never really breaks down. In fact, even
if I spin the tumbler twice a day, I can produce more compost in my
standard pile over the summer than I can with my Urban Compost Tumbler.


Learn from my mistake Save your money, and stay away from the Urban
Compost Tumbler. What they claim is all Fiction
