From Passive Composter to Active Composter

Look what was waiting for me on my front porch when I arrived home from work yesterday!Well, not exactly this. My Eco-Composter w/ Base was not fully assembled with a woman in gardening apparel presenting it to me. Mine is in a box in about 1254 pieces. I guess we know what hubby will be doing this weekend ;-)

I bought my composter from Costco and the day after I bought it the site said “due to overwhelming demanding, we are currently sold out”.

That is so great! This means that a lot of people are going to start composting. This is one bandwagon that I am happy people are jumping on.

The specs on this composter are as follows:

• 71-Gallon Capacity
• Made of 100% Recycled Materials
• Compost-Tumbler
  

Being made from recycled materials was a huge selling point for me. So was the ability to roll it around the yard (I figured the kids would get a kick out of doing that). It also has some aerated system that is suppose to quicken the composting process (I will keep you posted on that)

I really can’t wait to get it all set up and go from a Passive composter to an Active composter! I am so excited about this.

I also can’t wait to transfer the bucket of food scraps that is currently on my back porch into the composter! (the crows keep digging through it and taking the egg shells, not sure what that is about)

Those that compost say that there is a learning curve to it. I will have to remind myself of that so I won’t get too disappointed if the first batch does not come out perfectly (I have this picture in my mind of opening the door and finding the bin half full of beautiful dark soil)

Wish us luck!
