Instead of just sending trash off to the landfill I recycle it through an urban compost tumbler process that I use.
Composting is not difficult at all but it does take some patience. If you are not in a big hurry you can just make a pile on the ground. Someplace out of site usually will work the best. Compost does not smell but it can be a bit unsightly.
However if your anything like me you want to see a result as quick as possible. Buying a tumbler is the fastest method that I can think of.
There are different types available but it usually comes down to space and looks.
There are units that you add material to and then roll it around the yard for the turning aspect. Although the look and design is visible pleasing and children seem to really enjoy it, it requires a lot of space and can be time consuming.
There are heavy duty tumblers that have a stand and a fixed rotation. The axle is inserted through the body in a horizontal motion.
They require a fixed space and can be very adequate for a large family. They can be a bit overkill for a single person.
If you are one of the lucky people that have a great amount of space this is not going to be an issue. There are people that live in apartments or have very small yards and size does matter.
If you have a small space then there is still an option available for you. It is a fixed tumbler on a stand and it has a vertical rotation.
The fastest tumbler there is still takes about 3 - 4 weeks to make compost but it can save you a few bucks on store fertilizer and it will help the environment at the same time.
