Yes, put the tumbler in full sun.  The heat of summer (presuming you're in 
the Northern Hemisphere...) will hurry along the decomposition process.

Write back to us in a month and let us know how your process-time is 
looking then.

I've always wondered if these convenient rotating tumblers work 
well.  Reviews by users in the newsgroup rec.gardens a couple years ago 
were mixed but more favorable than unfavorable.
