Multifunction Garden Tumbling Composter, 130L Heavy-Duty

I’ve used many different composters over the years and this is definitely the fastest at creating a usable medium. I specifically bought it to compost my poultry and kitchen waste off the ground to prevent rats. I emptied it after 19 weeks from start to finish, and mixed the resultant compost 50/50 with sieved molehill soil. The result was a very healthy crop of very late courgettes very quickly. I bought a second bin to use while the first is rotting down and emptied it after 17 weeks from start to finish and again mixed molehill soil. I used it to top dress my recently emptied tomato growing containers into which I planted sprouting broccoli plugs which are also growing well. I would definitely recommend these compost balls if you have a need to prevent rats, and for a quick turnover of waste. Like some other reviewers have pointed out, the lid requires secure clicking into place before turning, otherwise a nasty smelly mess ensues. Don’t expect the result to be anything like purchased compost, mine is too rich to use neat and it still has pieces of straw present and is quite cloddy, but it seems excellent for my type of growing. The heat generated when in a sunny position is considerable and certainly speeds up the process so I will expect decomposition to slow now winter is here. I have tried mixing some Coprinus mushroom spawn in with my last batch so it will be interesting to see if anything comes of it.
