SORRY, BUT LOCAL PICKUP ONLYThis is the BIG Compost Tumbler by Mantis. This is not a ineffectual little tumbler intended to be put by the back door.
Holds up to 18 bushels (168 gallons, 22.4 cu ft) for composting; up to six 30-gallon trash bags of material.
With this amount of volume, the thermophiles have a chance to really thrive and break down the materials, while “cooking” weed seeds and pathogens. I routinely got temperatures of 150°F and better. (Chicken manure added to shredded “greens” worked best for me.) It really does make garden-ready compost in two weeks. Sits high enough to easily get a garden cart underneath for unloading and dispersal.
Tumbler size is 41” x 38” (diameter). Stand is 50” wide x 42” deep x 40” high. Stand can be separated easily, upper and lower half, for transport. Fresh owner’s manual included. Note last picture is of squirrel damage from some years past. Does not affect operation.
Lowe’s lists 2 for a new one, and is showing none in stock.
