EAST OAK 43-Gal Dual Chamber Compost Bin with Aeration System for Kitchen, Garden, Yard

The EAST OAK Compost Tumbler is designed to make composting easy for both beginners and seasoned green thumbs. Mature compost can be used as a fertilizer for growing flowers, plants, and vegetables, as organic fertilizers help improve soil quality and promote plant growth.

When it comes to the storage environment, the compost should be placed in a well-ventilated area with sufficient sunlight, but not in a location that will overheat. It's best to position the compost in the yard or a corner of the garden. Maintaining the proper humidity is crucial; the compost should remain wet but not too wet. In dry weather, regular watering is required to maintain the appropriate humidity level.

To use the compost tumbler, simply open the door and add your scraps, including waste from the yard and kitchen. Then, allow the materials time to heat up. The traditional method of keeping the composting process going is to turn the pile, mixing the organic materials and the organisms it contains with heat-producing oxygen. With the EAST OAK Compost Tumbler, all you need to do is turn the tumbler every 5-6 times every few days, and the organic materials will be mixed and infused with fresh oxygen. In just 4-6 weeks, or even less in hot weather, you'll have rich, fertile compost.

There are a few usage tips to keep in mind. Avoid adding too much organic waste to the compost all at once, as this may result in the compost being too dense and lacking in oxygen, which can affect the decomposition efficiency. Try to chop or tear the organic waste into small pieces before adding it to the compost, as this can help speed up the decomposition process and reduce the volume of waste. When adding materials, stack different types of organic waste instead of mixing them together. For example, you can put a layer of kitchen waste, then a layer of carbon-rich materials such as dead leaves or lawn pruning, and then add some soil or composting starter (if available) to promote decomposition.

Normally, the compost should have an earth-like smell. If there is a bad odor, it may be due to the compost being too wet or containing inappropriate substances, so you'll need to adjust it accordingly by adding more carbon-rich materials or adjusting the proportion of the composting materials.

The EAST OAK Compost Tumbler features a practical dual-chamber design, allowing one side to complete the composting process while the other side receives fresh scraps/clippings. This constant alternation ensures a continuous supply of nutritious compost for your garden.

The convenient aeration system, with its many aeration holes and deep fins, effectively prevents excessive internal pressure and ensures adequate air circulation, while the deep fins also help to break up clumps and maintain the proper composting consistency.

The 360-degree rotation design eliminates the need for hand mixing or digging, and the deep fins on the eight panels make it easy to turn the compost bin. The EAST OAK Compost Tumbler comes with a manual and video detailing the assembly steps, making the process very simple.

Constructed with premium BPA-free PP material and powder-coated steel, the EAST OAK Compost Tumbler features interlocking panels that add sturdiness, making it corrosion-resistant, weather-resistant, sturdy, and durable for long-lasting service.

The black color of the compost container allows it to absorb sunlight, retaining heat and speeding up the composting process. As long as you maintain the correct green-to-brown ratio, proper temperature, and humidity, there will be no odor, and the composting will be completed in about 4-6 weeks.

With a maximum capacity of 43 gallons and an assembled size of 26.5 x 23.6 x 36.5 inches, the EAST OAK Compost Tumbler is perfect for outdoor spaces and looks great on the patio, making it easy to compost in urban areas.
