Compost Drums
Compost Drums made of durable recycled polyethylene plastic are a good option for easy composting. Composting in a heap or a pile is hard work. It requires constant monitoring and intervention in the form of turning waste material for aeration and moisture retention. With a Compost Drum, optimal composting conditions are maintained automatically. The compost drum works on the principle of turning your compost often, which increases air circulation while distributing waste material and moisture evenly to aid speedier composting.
New Model:
Moreover, newer versions of the Compost Drum can be revolved in place, replacing the older troublesome model which had to be rolled in the yard. This new Compost Drum comes fully assembled, and requires only to be set up on its base.
Advantages:
Compost Drums have a larger capacity, and come with a twist-off lid for easy filling and removal. Usually they are painted black to absorb the heat of the sun, which aids the composting process. Well-ventilated with air vents and breather valves, Compost Drums allow ample air movement within the composting batch. The best news is that Compost Drums are now easy to turn. They have glide bearings attached to the base which allow the drum to be rotated easily, with recessed handles on side to provide gripping points for turning the batch.
Overall, a Compost Drum proves to be a good investment. It is compact, neat in appearance and pest-resistant. It makes composting a simple task. There are no obstructive layers to turn manually with a pitchfork or a shovel. It obliterates the uncertainties that attach a compost heap as root germination and solidifying of the waste material into a brick-like consistency. Frequent turning in the Compost Drum is the key to composting success; easy to fill and unload, and easy to revolve, the new Compost Drum is an asset.
