The Ms. Tumbles composter is ideal for gardeners who want fast, low-effort composting. Its elevated stand improves airflow and helps to keep pests out, while the rotating barrel ensures even mixing and efficient breakdown.

When adding material to your composter, premix your brown and green material together before adding it to your composter. This way you have a diverse and balanced mix of organic material. Nitrogen rich items such as green grass clippings, coffee grounds and chicken manure can be a catayst for composting.

No, the average backyard composter does not get hot enough to kill pathogens that can cause disease. Feces from grass-eating animals, such as cows, chickens, or rabbits, is ok, but it has to “cure” for several months, or they will burn your plants.
Insects in and around your compost are considered normal. The help breakdown compost. Fruit flies/gnats have a 1–3-month breeding season and are attracted to compost for a food source and breeding environment. They will disappear after that. It’s a normal part of aerobic composting. You can make the compost inaccessible to fruit flies/gnats by covering the top layer of compost with about 1″ of grass clippings or by using some old towels. Leave the cover off for 10 minutes or so to allow them to leave because they can’t access the food source.
Turning your compost is not strictly necessary; however, it will speed up the decomposition and ensure an even breakdown of material. If you have a tumbling composter like the Mr. Spin or Ms. Tumbles, rotate the tumbler a couple of times a week.
Yes, the Aerobin 200 & 400 have a leachate tank in the base of the composter. These composters come with a tube with a shut off valve that is connected to the tank and the leachate tea can be easily collected. The leachate tea needs to be diluted with water (1 part leachate tea to 10-15 parts water, for sensitive plants a ratio of 1:20) This can be used to fertilizer your outdoor plants.
The black parts are made of recycled PP. The green parts are made of 100% virgin plastic.
