Description
There’s no better way to smother weeds, retain moisture and pamper plants than with a top-dressing of rich, dark compost. It feeds them gently, helps build disease resistance, improves soil and produces more bountiful yields. Yet store-bought compost is expensive. Covering an average 500 square foot vegetable garden with a 2” to 3” layer of compost runs around $100. Treating your flower beds raises the ante higher. Of course, you can always make a compost pile, provided you have a place where it’s out of view, plus a lot of strength and patience. Leave it alone, and it’ll probably take a year or more to decompose. Turn it regularly with a pitchfork, a cumbersome job, and it will still take many months. Or you could buy a compost maker. It will pay for itself quickly in mulch and fertilizer costs, and will speed up the composting process significantly. There are substantial differences among models, so it pays to do your homework first. Here are a few questions to ask: How much does it hold? While a large capacity sounds ideal, large loads may require a lot of strength to turn. Does the design maximize aeration, which speeds the composting process? Is it attractive or will it be an eyesore in my yard? How much room will it take up? How do you load and unload the contents? Is access easy? Is it easy to turn, even when fully loaded? What is it made of? Will it crack or rust after only a few years of use? Is the price a good value? Be sure to factor in shipping costs, and consider the capacity you’re getting for your money. In a recent test performed by members of the National Home Gardening Club, the Tumbleweed Composter was rated 9.1 out of a possible 10 for ease of use, 9.5 for durability and 10 for performance. Take a look at its features and it’s easy to see why. The Tumbleweed’s patented design includes a stainless steel rod through the center that promotes aeration and dramatically speeds results. You’ll be pampering your plants with nutrient-rich compost in as little as 21 days – four times faster than traditional methods. Assembly takes 15 minutes or less with just a screwdriver. After that, just toss in some composting material – food scraps, leaves and grass clippings that otherwise go to waste. There are lids on both ends for easy loading and unloading. Complete instructions are included, so you’ll know exactly what materials work best for composting. A compact 46” H x 26” W x 34” deep, the Tumbleweed fits nicely in small spaces. Its attractive design blends in with the background; it’s not an eyesore like many other compost bins. In addition, it’s made of heavy duty UV-protected polypropylene plastic with rustproof galvanized steel legs. Made in Australia, it’s designed to withstand harsh climate extremes. Give your Tumbleweed a daily spin and you’ll be rewarded with earthy dark brown compost in a few short weeks. (The exact timing varies depending on factors such as weather and composting materials.) It’s easy to turn, even when full. The vented lids allow for even air flow and drainage. Altogether, the Tumbleweed’s combination of fast results, ease of use, large capacity, compact design, rugged construction and affordable price make it a superior choice. Best of all, with the Tumbleweed, you’ll enjoy unlimited quantities of free organic fertilizer. What’s more, you’ll never have to buy mulch again. Just a quick note to tell you I am going out of town July 3rd thru July 7th. So shipping will delayed a couple of days.
