Ideally, turn the tumbler every 2-3 days to ensure proper aeration and decomposition.
You can add food scraps (vegetable and fruit waste), yard waste (grass clippings, leaves), and shredded paper. Avoid meat, dairy products, and diseased plants.
With regular turning and the right balance of materials, you can have finished compost in a few months.
Place it in a spot that's easily accessible, relatively level, and has good drainage.
Finished compost will be dark, crumbly, and have an earthy smell.
Clean the exterior with water and mild soap as needed. Check for any blockages and remove them.
The Smart Garden Compost Tumbler has an approximate 17-gallon capacity.
Check for obstructions inside the tumbler. Ensure the contents are not too compacted. Add more 'brown' materials (like leaves or shredded paper) to balance the 'green' materials (like food scraps).
Add water while turning the tumbler. Ensure the lid is properly closed to retain moisture.
Ensure adequate aeration by turning the tumbler regularly. Add more 'brown' materials and ensure you're not adding inappropriate materials like meat.
