Not only can you create high quality organic matter for free, composting allows you to seamlessly recycle the majority of your kitchen scraps and yard debris. It\u2019s a win-win any way you look at it. And if you\u2019re in a hurry for your compost to be done (like right now during planting season) or you want your compost to be contained, using a compost tumbler might be just the right thing to get you merrily on your way.<\/p>\n<p>Composting tumblers are barrels made to hold your compost materials and be easily rotated to speed up the composting process. All of your compost is contained securely within the chamber, so you won\u2019t have to contend with annoying flies, unsightly piles, or rats and\/or dogs getting into it. Simply fill it with yard and kitchen waste, add some manure or finished compost if you like (to give it a good kickstart), and then turn it once or twice a week. With a good tumbler and frequent tumbling and, you can have rich, amazing compost in l4-6 weeks!<\/p>\n<h2>How To Build Your Own Compost Tumbler<\/h2>\n<p>Here at GrowSeeds, we\u2019ve been experimenting with creating our own composting tumblers.

Next, take some scrap plywood (or a pallet runner) and place it on one side of the door inside the drum.\u00a0 This stops the door from folding in on itself.<br \/>\nHold the piece of wood in place with clamps until you get it screwed in.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/clamped.jpg\" alt=\"clamped\" width=\"670\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/clamped.jpg 670w, https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/clamped-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/clamped-600x806.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-103\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/screwed.jpg\" alt=\"screwed\" width=\"670\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/screwed.jpg 670w, https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/screwed-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/screwed-600x806.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><br \/>\n5. Next, we need to add blocks of wood to the ends to help distribute the weight where the pole will go.<br \/>\nChoose four blocks of plywood and drills holes in their centres with a 40mm circle saw. The blocks don\u2019t need to be super huge\u2014just big enough to give support.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-104\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/blocks.jpg\" alt=\"Support Blocks\" width=\"670\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/blocks.jpg 670w, https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/blocks-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.growseed.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/blocks-600x403.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>6.
