I just bought one of the Compostumblers. I loaded it up for the first time
today and was very impressed to find the temp up to 110 degrees in 6 hours.
It is supposed to make compost in 14 day if the outside temperature stays
above 40 degrees. So far I'm a very happy customer. They also offer a 1
year 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied, which is nice
because they are pricey.
I'm in no way connect to this company, just a happy customer, so far.
