It requires constant monitoring and intervention in the form of turning waste material for aeration and moisture retention. With a Compost Drum, optimal composting conditions are maintained automatically. The compost drum works on the principle of turning your compost often, which increases air circulation while distributing waste material and moisture evenly to aid speedier composting.

Compost Drums have a larger capacity, and come with a twist-off lid for easy filling and removal. Usually they are painted black to absorb the heat of the sun, which aids the composting process. Well-ventilated with air vents and breather valves, Compost Drums allow ample air movement within the composting batch. The best news is that Compost Drums are now easy to turn. They have glide bearings attached to the base which allow the drum to be rotated easily, with recessed handles on side to provide gripping points for turning the batch.
