There are many options for composting; you can choose compost bins, a compost pile, or a compost tumbler. You may also choose to compost with or without worms. 

Choosing a compost tumbler is a great choice if you like the convenience of getting nutritious compost soil without the fuss and mess of dealing with a compost pile. With today’s compost tumblers it's as easy as taking out the trash. You can buy biodegradable corn bags for composting, and these bags will decay with the rest of your kitchen waste inside the tumbler. You no longer need to get your hands dirty because it’s as simple as throwing your trash away!

Things to Consider When Composting    

Even though it’s easy to compost there are things to consider before you begin. 

Position

The location of your compost tumbler is important because you are going to fill it up on a daily basis.  You don’t want it to be a hassle to compost. 

Although the Joraform Composter is visually attractive, most people want to hide their compost tumbler.  Some people put their tumblers next to the trash cans on their property to simplify waste disposal, while others like to put it near their garden or hide it under a bush or roof. 

The best solution is whatever works for you. 

Consider choosing dual chamber compost

No matter what you choose to use for composting you should use dual chamber.

With two chambers you never need to stop composting while you’re waiting for the waste to decompose. While the waste is decaying in one of the compartments you fill up the other one. When that chamber is full the other compartment is ready to be emptied. This way you can maintain your daily composting.

Useful tools

You really don't need to buy a bunch of tools to get started with your compost tumbler. This is because the tumbler mixes materials easily.  Simply turn the tumbler and you mix the compost inside with new kitchen waste. This is a great advantage compared to a compost pile or bin that needs to be mixed by hand to circulate the oxygen. 

You might also need a small pitchfork or a hand shovel to clear the air holes or smash some lumps in the tumbler.  These tools can also come in handy when emptying the tumbler. 

In addition, a wheelbarrow or a large bucket is useful when you want to empty the tumbler to distribute the compost soil throughout your garden or lawn.
