Fill one side, while the other side cures, making it easy to efficiently convert your kitchen and yard waste into rich, soil enhancing compost. Load it up, close the sliding door, and use the convenient built-in handholds to give it a turn every couple of days and see how it produces finished compost in weeks. Made in Canada from 100% post-consumer recycled resin. It is an item that recycles, that is made from recycling, that keeps two kinds of waste out of landfills. Review: Good product, fantastic Customer Service - I bought this unit as "used, in very good condition" from desertcart Warehouse. As far as I can tell when received, it was never actually used. Someone appears to have taken it out of the box and then returned. All the parts were in there, although as I was assembling it, I discovered that two panels were broken. More on this later. The unit is reasonably easy to assemble once you figure out the somewhat cryptic instructions. To be fair, the skimpy instruction manual refers you to a video on the web site which I assume shows the assembly process in greater detail. I didn't look at it, and after a short while, I figured out the right way to put it together. Be warned that there are lots of screws to place. Lots! Also, it is very easy to assemble the supporting bars in the wrong order, and again the instructions are not terribly clear in the manual. Other than that the assembly process itself is not too hard. Once I got the unit together, I found that the composter stands sturdily enough,and seems to be working. Mine will probably need at least two to four weeks more before it produces anything recognizable as soil, but there's certainly activity taking place in there. It's also a lot less messy than my original standing square-box composter. Now, regarding the pannels, I wrote to the manufacture's support address explaining the situation, and asking whether they could send replacement panels. Remember that I got the unit as "used" from desertcart Warehouse, and so I thought there might be a chance that they could refuse to honor the warranty, in which case I more than half expected that I would have to return the whole thing back to desertcart. I was very happily surprised when they replied within a day, letting me know they were shipping the replacement panels. However, I was then further happily shocked when the panels arrived (plus the whole set of screws as well!) within two days, to Puerto Rico! (normal shipping for most of the stuff I buy only usually takes at lest 5-7 business days! I am happy with the composter, and I am extremely happy with the customer service. The instructions could definitely used some improvement. Review: Well built but requires care in assembly - Quality is solid, but I wish they would have used galvanized hardware and nylon lock nuts for ALL the hardware. The black oxide screws are sure to eventually rust. Assembly tips: 1. Watch YouTube videos and go to the product website before starting. Study "composting tips" in the provided instructions. Fill the composting tumbler 50-60% full for optimum performance. 2. Have a medium size flat-bladed or box-ended screwdriver, 3/8"/10mm box end wrench, and small 3/8"/10mm socket wrench available (3/8" fits tighter). 3. Optionally, wear a headlamp so you can see clearly inside the unit 4. Optionally, put Teflon or silicone grease on the metal axle tube before putting the plastic tube over it - this will help the unit rotate easier 5. When starting to put on the 8 panels, have the 2 end octagons lined up with their 7-hole side straight up. This is absolutely critical. 6. Constantly verify that the center divider is positioned into the slots on all the assembled panels. You can easily knock it loose while installing the next panel 7. Double check that you tightened every screw and got the 2 tabs on each panel fully snapped into the square holes on the next panel. The panel join line should appear straight and flat, with no humps where the tabs are. 8. The sliding door panel is the last one to be installed and goes on the 7-hole side of the octagons mentioned above. Tucking its bottom edge under the first panel you installed and making sure all 4 tabs involved are snapped into the square holes requires special care. I removed two screws on the first panel I installed and then deformed that panel outward so I could tuck the last panel underneath it. This seemed to work well and all tabs and square holes were snapped together. 9. Optionally, run a 21.5 inch bead of black silicone sealer along the joints between the 8 panels. This may keep out rainwater, which helps keep the weight down and thus makes turning the unit easier. I also put silicone sealer inside every joint while I was assembling it - which makes a mess and is probably overkill. After assembly I put a sheet of thick plastic underneath the composter and added 8 gallons of compost material to each side and sprinkled on 2 gallons of water and tumbled it. I noticed that about half the water leaked out of the weep slots in the end octagons. So the concern above about rainwater entry may be overblown, since it would drain out anyway. I suppose it might wash away nutrients, though, so water intrusion is probably best controlled. ## Features - Made in Canada from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic - The original 8-sided dual chamber tumbling composter. - Efficient Dual-Chamber Composting: Avoid digging and mixing your compost pile by hand.

It is very difficult to bear proof anything. Even the best Tumbler (or any plastic) Composter couldn’t hold up to even a determined black bear cub. If you want a composter with less Bear worry, consider building a simple in-ground one near the edge of your property so if bears (or raccoons) *do* come, they’ll be further away from your primary point of habitation. Be sure to mix in your browns well so there isn’t a food smell. **Q: do you have to put it together and is it difficult we are not good at assembly** A: You have to assemble it. I brought it about a year ago and put off trying to put it together until yesterday, because of all the reviews saying it was difficult. I didn't find it hard to figure out how to do it , and thought the instructions that came with it did a good job of showing you how to do it . It was time consuming because you have to put in 57 small screws with the nuts. I'm a woman, 76 years old with no especial insight on assembling things. It looks like it will do a good job for me. **Q: Any tips for winter usage, once temperatures cause the compost to freeze?** A: I keep adding to my compost all winter. I just don't turn it over as often, maybe once every 2 weeks or so. While nothing will "cook" during the winter, you'll have fresh material on standby for when it does start to warm up. I suppose my only tip would be to make sure you add material to it during the daytime and make sure your composter stays in a sunny spot. The door can freeze "shut" at night due to the lower temperatures and any moisture along the track.I've already been through one winter with it and I sincerely had no issues and didn't have to make any changes to the way I used the tumbler. **Q: what is the best mixture of scraps to put in the composter to start the first batch in a brand new yimby tumbler composter?** A: I actually toss a little bit (maybe 6 cups) of soil from my garden in my compost when starting it out and it seems to give it a good kick. Just add 50/50 green and brown material with it and it will take off. Make sure to check it often if it gets sunny outside. Compost seems to dry out fast when it's hot, due to bacteria and fungus using a lot more water when it gets hot. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product, fantastic Customer Service *by A***S on April 26, 2019* I bought this unit as "used, in very good condition" from Amazon Warehouse.

Add to it, it’s missing a screw. First of all, nuts and screws cost pennies so put an extra nut and screw inside so you aren’t wasting money shipping a damn screw. It’s common sense. Also, the composter did not come in its own box inside the amazon box. The amazon box had some damage and the plastic zipped bag the nuts and bolts came in was opened and pieces spread throughout the box. A damaged box and loose parts does not mix well. I will be contacting them for the missing screw. Next, at least at times, you may need two people to help put this together. Try to find someone who isn’t easily aggravated. I regretted asking my husband to help who wanted to take a hammer to this to separate the poles when they got stuck tight. I refused as I was afraid he would ruin the plastic. He admits he’s a bit of a Neanderthal. You will need a Phillips screw driver and a wrench. I had the bottom put together wrong so pay attention to the size of the pieces. It’s not supposed to be slanted. 🙄 Usually I’m better than that, but my dogs climbing in my lap while trying to put this together apparently distracted me. The middle separator is a pain, this is where two people help to keep lined up as you screw the pieces together. Don’t try to force it, just unscrew the outer pieces until you can readjust. Don’t tighten the screws all the way until you get finished so you don’t strip them trying to undo them. You may need to undo them until you figure this out. The nuts on the actual composter are self tightening so you can hand tighten a bit and you won’t need two hands to finish tightening them. It seems sturdy enough now it’s together, even with the one missing screw. I may spray the legs with Rustoleum to protect the metal, which I think may rust since it will be sitting on the ground year round. It definitely took awhile to put it together, but hopefully worth it.
