The Envirocycle Compost Maker produces quality compost more quickly and more easily than conventional composters by its rolling and mixing action which keeps the ingredients well mixed and aerated. It makes compost tea, a rich organic liquid plant food so much appreciated by the gardeners. This liquid can be collected in the unique composte maker base. No messy digging to turn the compost pile. Simply give the drum a few turns and your compost remains well mixed. It is compact, durable, and user-friendly. The Envirocycle features small openings on the the drum for aeration, lockable lid to prevent access to compost by small animals, indented drum for easy gripping and rolling, base that is able to collect up to 5 gal. of liquid fertilizer or compost tea, and 5 bushel capacity. Please see zoom for Frequently Asked Questions, and Other Info tab for individual component information. Best materials for composting? Try kitchen scraps (except dairy products), lawn clippings, food waste, coffee grounds, even shredded newspapers and cardboard for a start! How exactly does the rotating Envirocycle Compost Maker work? First, use any kind of plastic, sealable container for your household waste. When full, transfer the contents into your composter. All you have to do is open the lid, throw in the waste, close the lid and rotate the unit to mix the contents well (3 times/week) and there you have it. There is no back pain involved, since Rotating Envirocycle Compost Maker requires no mixing tools except your hands naturally, without getting them dirty! The decomposition process takes a period of about 30 to 40 days. How do I know when the maturation period is completed so that I can empty my compost? At the end of the 5th week, stop adding waste to the composter for 5 days. During this final maturing period, accumulate new waste in a separate plastic container. At the end of the 6th week, it is now time to empty out your composter, as instructed below; once empty, you may begin to add new waste to the composter. Composting demands a minimum of 2 cubic feet of varied wastes (dry and humid). Go green with the Envirocycle Compost Maker!
