In
an urban setting, many people have neither the space nor the
time to maintain a traditional compost pile in their backyard.
Add that to the growing regulations concerning compost piles,
neighbor complaints, and unwanted pests..... the Urban Compost
Tumbler fits nicely into an urban setting while getting the
job done. Below you can see the center "Aeration
Tube" in the Urban Compost Tumbler. Given enough time,
all composters and methods work. Given enough oxygen, they
simply work better and faster. The most efficient bacteria,
called "aerobes", need oxygen to do their work.
Without oxygen the aerobes cannot survive and the anaerobes
take over slowing decomposition by as much as 90 percent. In
addition, the center aeration tube with its cross bar assists
in the break up and separation of compost as it is turned
preventing the materials from turning into a ball and just
sliding back and forth when tumbled.
There are "Four" ingredients that are
critical for effective composting of all organic materials:
carbon, nitrogen, water, and oxygen. The unique (Patent
pending) core aeration system of the Urban Compost Tumbler
provides the essential oxygen for the aerobic microorganisms
and tool free mixing of the composting materials. This near
odorless, fully enclosed composter is ideal for both yard
and kitchen materials. Many cities now ban or are
considering banning open compost piles because of the pest
control (e.g. rats, mice, raccoons and insects) and are tuning
to fully enclosed composters like the Urban Compost Tumbler.
These barrels are recovered
from local pickle factories. Recycled commodities barrel
is made of 5/16" UV Protected Plastic (Food Grade).
Stand is of TREX® deck which is made from recycled stretch
film, paper and plastic grocery bags. The entire unit is made
of 95% recycled materials. Manufactured by D&P Industries.

FAQ about the
Compost Tumbler
How long does it
take to make compost?
There is no single answer to this question. Composting time will
vary greatly based on many factors including the type of material
being used, particle sizes, nitrogen to carbon mix, moisture
content, temperature, whether you use a good Compost Starter or
Blood Meal, and very important for composting speed is OXYGEN
(aeration). Under ideal conditions and with appropriate amendments,
you can produce compost in as little as 13-days with the UCT
because of its patented core aeration system. For the average
person who may not want to bother creating the "ideal"
mix, 3-4 weeks is more likely. For people who do not give any
attention to what they through into the unit, have too low of a
nitrogen content or use very coarse material... things will still
compost but it could take even longer.
How easy is the
UCT to turn?
Both UCTs are relatively easy to turn when following some basic
guidelines. First, it should not be overloaded with material and
adding a lot of water. For ease of turning, it is recommended that
the weight be kept under 130 lbs. With the average compost batch of
crushed dry leaves and green grass mixed in a 50/50 ratio being
less than 100 lbs, the unit turns quite easily. The second
important note in turning the UCT is to rock the barrel back and
for a couple times before turning -- using momentum to help turn it
and not trying to just "muscle" it around.
