Re: Best Compost Tumbler

**"* m* p* <m*@dargan.com>**

I am replacing my 28 year old dynamo with the split-sided one from the same
place. I was very happy with the old product and it comes with a stand. It
was attached by a bear and broke the axle! I also like the smart cart ( same
company) very much and it has been a war horse for almost 30 years. With
bucket detached, it becomes a tree root ball carrier, good for bulky items
items.  https://www.compostumbler.com/StoreFront/product/compostumbler2

I also ordered the compost miracle from Frontgate . It is a hybrid compost
tumbler ( 7 gal) with 47 cu ft water/rain barrel beneath. It is for compost
tea. We use comfrey and compost to water our vegetables and this delivery
system looks pretty good. Easy to turn and empty. Good aeration, too. It
just arrived! The way it works is simple: As the top composter barrel is
rotated, gravity and centrifugal forces squeeze out excess liquid, which is
then channeled into the rain barrel. From there, it mixes directly with the
stored rainwater to form nutrient-packed plant food.

Good luck
