Tumbleweed Compost Bin
The Tumbleweed Compost Maker is an above ground, free standing tumbling compost bin. Organic waste is added and the contents tumbled on a regular basis. Air and moisture is distributed by the tumble action creating ideal conditions for rapid decomposition. Valuable nutrients are retained within the bin and do not leach into the soil whilst vermin are eliminated.
      Heavy forking of the contents or complicated layering techniques are not required. Minimum effort is needed to keep the decomposition process working. Simply fill the bin with the required materials and tumble every couple of days. Optimum size allows young and old to tumble even when full.
The compost bin comprises of a sturdy, high impact UV treated polypropylene body on galvanised steel legs. A stainless steel breaker  

bar through the centre of the drum assists in the mixing of the contents. Vented lids each end maintain aeration and allow easy access.

Tumbleweeds unique tumbling action
Aeration of the compost material in the bin is the key to speedy decomposition.
Tumbleweed's unique compost bin rotates around its axis through the width of the bin. Therefore the contents fall from the top to the bottom of the bin as it is tumbled and are thoroughly aerated.

The breaker bar across the middle helps to break up the contents as they fall.

Other tumblers rotate around an axis that runs through the length of the bin. When tumbled the contents roll, resulting in minimal aeration.
