Why It's Good
- Double Duty. Similar products only do half the job, so you miss out on the highly concentrated liquid fertilizer known as compost tea. This one makes just as much of the dry stuff, but it also makes tea at the same time.
- Eco-Friendly. Constructed from recycled plastics that are BPA free, this composter is friends with Mother Nature, and it has a smaller carbon footprint than others. Despite the reused materials, it is also extremely rugged, and highly durable.
- Fast Acting. Way faster than traditional piles, and even quicker than lower quality competition that looks similar. Don't wait six months for organic fertilizer when you could have it in one.
- Fully Assembled. No complicated instructions to follow, and no little pieces to lose. Once you pull it out of the box, you'll be ready to take it straight to the garden. It comes to you completely put together and ready for use.
- Easy Spinning. The lower placement of the barrel helps, but multiple, high quality rollers combine with larger grooves around the outside of the bin to make it incredibly easy to rotate. Other units use cranks and other difficult mechanisms to mix the contents, so they are much harder to use in comparison.
- Year Round. The enclosed bin, and unique design will allow you to use it even in winter. Keep it close to your house, and add stuff all winter without mixing. The extreme temperatures will break stuff down, and speed up the process once spring arrives.
