Product Description
EAST OAK Compost Tumbler is here to make composting easy for beginners and seasoned green thumbs alike! Mature compost can be used as fertilizer for growing flowers, plants, and vegetables. Organic fertilizers help improve soil quality and promote plant growth.
Storage environment:
Position: Place the compost in a well-ventilated place with sufficient sunlight but not overheating, preferably in the yard or in a corner of the garden.
Humidity: Keep the compost properly humidity, compost should remain wet but not too wet. In dry weather, regular watering required to maintain proper humidity.
How to use:
Add scraps: Open the door and add scraps, load them with waste from yard and kitchen. Then give them time to heat up. Turning a compost pile mixing the organic materials and the organisms it contains with heat-producing oxygen is the traditional method of keeping the process going full steam.
Turn the tumbler: All you need to do is turn the tumbler every 5-6 times every few days, the organic materials will mixed and infused with fresh oxygen. Finally you will get rich, fertile compost in just 4-6 weeks or less in hot weather!
Usage tips:
Too much scraps: Avoid adding too much organic waste to compost all at once, which may result in compost being too dense and lack of oxygen, thus affecting decomposition efficiency.
Minimize the scraps: Try to chop or tear organic waste into small pieces before adding it to the compost bucket. This helps to speed up the decomposition process, and can reduce the volume of waste in the compost.
Layer upon layer stacked: Stack different types of organic waste instead of mixing them together. For example, you can put a layer of kitchen waste, then a layer of carbon source materials such as dead leaves or lawn pruning, and then add some soil or composting starter (if you have) to promote decomposition.
Smell: Normally, compost should produce a earth-like smell. If there is a bad smell, the composting may be too wet or contain inappropriate substances, so you need to adjust it appropriately, add more carbon source materials or adjust the proportion of composting.

perfect for garden composting. Love the ability to turn the main part. Hoping for wonderful soil this summer.

This is a decent bin. I really like it has two bins. It was a little challenging getting the pieces to click together just right; if anything is off, the doors won’t open. It was packaged with a truly phenomenal amount of plastic. Every piece was in its own plastic bag. This is more about Amazon customers who will complain about every scratch and return a product. You all stink.

This compost bin is a miracle. It’s been a month now and it’s making incredible compost. We are using up everything in the kitchen (scraps.) We’re gonna need two soon! The only thing I had a problem with is that middle ring but it all worked out.

Haven’t made it through our first year with this thing, but it seems to be working OK for now. I do see how other features would be helpful, that we didn’t bother getting in this one, although this one works just fine so far. Will update our review once we have usable compost. Lol.

Hi. So I tried this model as it was an Amazon pick. It’s assembled but not with a ton of aggravation. I had read other reviewers input talking about this issue, but there are also some other reviews saying is was straight forward. The reason for my review is to tell you to pay attention to the nay sayers on this topic. It’s very difficult to connect the drum pieces together, once you get them together, they come apart easily during assembly and during the final stage of putting on the side pieces oh the drum. When the composter arrived, the first thing I saw was a QR code to installation video. I felt relieved that if I needed that, that it would be there for me. I needed it and is wasn’t there. The link just takes you back to Amazon where there is no installation video. I also had an issue with all but a couple of screws never firmly tightened up. Like they were stripped or something. That makes me nervous that they won’t hold in place once I start using it. Can’t be sure on that, thus the nutral review.

Wow the quality is way better than what I was expecting at this price point. Consider me impressed. Additionally, I had no trouble assembling it solo, which took about an hour.

I waited three months to see how this works before writing a review. The composter is very sturdy and I appreciate having two different chambers to work with. I cannot say how well it composts yet because I started it in the fall as the temperatures were dropping. Now that it’s winter, nothing will really decompose, but I can see the progress it made. I filled the first chamber till it was full and although it doesn’t look like soil yet, it also doesn’t look like food scraps anymore. As long as you keep the ratios right, there is no smell. Make sure to buy the compost starter since there won’t be worms in it.

I was afraid this might be difficult to assemble but it was easy. Did it by myself in about an hour after watching the linked video and following the instructions, which were clear. Not surprisingly you have to fiddle with it to get all the tabs to click into place, snd this was most ready accomplished by attaching both big discs (sides of the drum) at once, working back and forth and letting each side help draw the other into alignment. I’m an old lady but with patience, moving from one to another and back and forth, I got each tab snapped securely. Also no need for any tools. I only used the screwdriver that was enclosed.Sometime later, I bought the other version of this product because it was a little bit cheaper and I needed a second composter. It was so much more difficult to put together. In fact I would not have been able to do it. Had I not used a 3/8 inch Nut driver during the last step and a 5/16 inch nut driver during most of the screws. The one with the larger doors and independently rotating chambers is so much easier to put together.
