Re: Compost Tumblers


I have made compost the slow way and have agreed with a late Prof. at UConn
that the area of the pile needs to be at least 6ft.x 6ft. and 8x8 is better. 
I can only guess having one of those tumblers up close that the material that
goes in must be very finely chopped and 80%-90% very high N stuff such as
grass clippings.


I appreciate your imput. But I surely don't want to be responsible for an off-topic thread. And a discussion about compost would easily take us far afield.

My story assignment is not about making compost, but about using these tumblers. And, as I tell my freelance writing students, to be successful we always obey the editorial golden rule, which is: The editor's got the gold, so the editor makes the rules. In this case, the "rule" is that we discuss what's available in compost tumblers, and whether they do the job claimed for them.
