A tumbler composter is the fastest and easiest method for creating your own compost. Compost that will make your flower beds and garden the talk of the neighborhood.
If you make your own compost, without a tumbler composter, chances are, you are working a lot harder than you need to. And, it’s probably taking you a much longer time to make your compost than it should.
As a gardner, you have a golden opportunity to convert something of little value into something of great value. With very little effort, you can make your own gardner’s gold (compost) from kitchen scraps and yard debris…commonly known as compost.
If you’ve never treated your plants to compost, you’ve missed out on a true miracle.
What is compost?
Not to be mistaken for fertilizer, compost is a very beneficial soil conditioner. Compost contains very little nutrient value, however compost improves a plant’s ability to absorb nutrients from the soil.
Where does compost come from?
Compost is the end product of the natural decomposition of organic matter. You see that natural process first hand when you walk on a soft forest floor. While decomposition is a normal process in nature, composting accellerates the process.
Decomposed organic matter is an extremely valuable soil amendment. Organic matter is very beneficial for plants and soil. It streamlines the microbial decomposition of soil, attracts beneficial earthworms, suspends plant nutrients in a state of slow release throughout the season, and suppresses many soil born diseaes.
Your garden and flower beds can never have too much compost.
Compost is available at your local garden store. However, making compost at home is a great exercise in environmental responsibilty.
By making your own compost, you reduce the amount of yard debris and kitchen waste that goes into our landfills. You can reduce that amount by as much as 75%.
In composting, you also experience genuine satisfaction by turning something of no apparent value (kitchen scraps and yard debris) into something that makes your garden and flowers, lush and beautiful.
How do you make your own compost?
To make compost you need four things:
1 – Browns (leaves, vegetable stalks, straw, peanut shells),
2 – Greens (grass clippings, food waste, garden waste, manures),
3 – good air flow, and
4 – the right amount of moisture.
Next, you’ll need to bring these ingredients together in a pile, a bin, or a barrel.
Pile Composter Method
With the pile method, you simply pile your ingredients, say in the corner of your garden. Then it’s necessary that you “turn” your compost pile with a spading fork at least once a week. The pile method is typically the slowest method to produce finished compost. It can take from 3 to 12 months.
Bin Composter Method
With the bin method, you construct a bin out of something, like old pallets. Use a pallet also to create a floor in the bin. The floor will allow the pile to breath from the beneath.
Line the bin with chicken wire or other small mesh wire. The smallest optimum size for a bin is 3′x3′x3′, the largest optimum size for a bin is 5′x5′x5′.
The ingredients in a bin also need to be “turned” at least weekly. The bin method usually creates compost in 3 to 6 months.
Tumbler Composter Method
The fastest (usually 14 to 21 days), and perhaps the easiest method for creating compost. In the tumble method, a barrell is used for mixing the ingredients.
Drilling holes in the barrell will provide proper aeration. If the barrell is not black, it’s a good idea to paint the barrell black so it will gather as much heat as possible.
Then every few days, simply roll or tumble the barrell to mix the composting ingredients.
The barrell can be mounted on a frame work, making it very easy to tumble.
If you’re a bit handy, you can build a tumbler composter of your own for very little, or no cost.
If do-it-yourself projects are not your cup of tea, tumbler composters can be purchased very economically.
In Conclusion
Composting is easy to do, it’s environmentally responsible, and your garden and flower beds will flourish.

Want to know the secret to getting a lawn that’s dark and green? Of course, you do! Well here it is in two words: Iron Supplements. This is a common technique used by lawn care professionals. They not only use iron supplements to help give grass that nice deep, bluish-green color, but also use the supplements to help control the growth of moss. If you have the fescue or bluegrass species, you will find iron supplements to be particularly helpful.
Synthetic vs. Organic Iron Supplements
Iron lawn supplements falls under two categories: synthetic or organic. Just as in food and supplements for humans, anything organic will cost you more. Synthetic iron fertilizers usually come in the form of granules and spread over the lawn just like other fertilizers. It’s less expensive than an organic iron fertilizer and is fast acting so you should see results fairly quickly (within days). Because it is synthetic, if you use too much of this type of iron supplement, your lawn will turn gray. Also, it has been known to stain concrete driveways. You know that color on rusty iron fences? Well, the same thing can happen to your concrete walkways and driveways if you’re not careful when applying synthetic iron fertilizers. These are the downsides to the synthetic iron supplements.
Organic iron fertilizers, on the other hand, take longer to break down. But because they’re chelated, the grass can absorb the organic fertilizers more easily. They also contain other nutrients that are good for your lawn. And unlike its synthetic counterpart, you don’t have to worry about organic iron fertilizers staining your outdoor concrete areas.
Applying the Iron Lawn Fertilizers
As mentioned before, you need to be careful not to over-apply the supplements, especially the synthetic ones. Follow closely the directions on the package. Overdoing it is just as bad as having an iron-deficient lawn. Also, you should apply the fertilizer during spring time when the weather is mild, around 60 to 70 degrees.
Keep in mind that an iron deficiency may not be the real cause of yellowish-looking grass. So, before you jump to the conclusion that your lawn needs iron supplements, look for more likely sources first, like: Is your lawn getting enough water? Is the lawn lacking in some of the regular nutrients?

Fertilizers help to create a green environment, but apparently the most widely used are chemical or synthetic fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers have a lot of drawbacks, which has necessitated the use of organic garden fertilizer. These fertilizers release nutrients in a slow pace. They let out nitrogen which is in turn utilised by the soil microbes, which help in keeping the soil healthy. On contrast, synthetic fertilizers only add concentrated nutrients for the plants but nothing to the soil itself. Every natural fertilizer contains trace elements, which plants need in minute quantities, and major nutrients, which are needed in larger amounts. The major nutrients are potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen.
The following are the various types of organic garden fertilizer
Compost – Compost is the natural break-down of organic material into dark, rich soil. It is also called humus. While equivalent to a mere 1-1-1 fertilizer, it acts as a conditioner, retaining water, breaking up clay and adding valuable microorganisms and nematodes, all vital to soil health. The humid acid in the compost will release natural nutrients already in the soil, so the apparent low-nutrient value is made up for its powerful soil-amending properties.
Mulch – Mulch is a protective layer of material placed atop soils. Natural mulches are used to help retain moisture, keep the soil at a more even temperature, and provide shade and a cover to repel weed growth. As the mulch decomposes, it adds nutrients to the soil.
Composted manure – Manures are high in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and the levels are different for horse, cow, sheep, chicken and vegetable-based “green” manures. Until the advent of chemical fertilizer, they were the primary fertilizer on farmlands, and are still in wide use today. Composted manures do not have this run-off problem. The composting process lowers the amount of nitrogen and locks the remainder into stable compounds. The high heat generated by composting also kills any weed seeds and pathogens.
Other Organic fertilizers include:
Bone meal – It is a good source of phosphorous and calcium, which makes up between 2% and 5% of the total composition. Bone meal is often used for tomatoes and bulbs.
Cottonseed meal – A good organic source of nitrogen and trace elements, it has an acidic pH and is often an ingredient in all-purpose natural fertilizers.
Fish meal – A natural fertilizer made in meal form that is high in nitrogen and phosphorous.
Soybean meal – Made from soybeans and is used primarily as a source of nitrogen or as a soil amendment.
Salts – Used to treat soils and plants deficient in magnesium and sulfur. Because of its high salt content it should not be used on soils that are already high in salt.
Gypsum – Also known as calcium sulfate, it is a good source of calcium and sulfur. It is an inexpensive material to use for neutralizing acidic soils, and it also helps to break up heavy clay soils so air and water can penetrate.
