Large Composting Orb w/ Roller Base - 71 GAL
This large capacity, spherical composting orb is the ideal solution for engaging the entire family in composting. Kids will have loads of fun rolling the unit around the yard, mixing and aerating the contents as they go. For less energetic gardeners, the orb will also spin in place on a sturdy base stand with built-in ball bearings for smooth gliding. Dark color absorbs heat from sun, while air tubules allow oxygen to enter the biological active core – both factors are essential for rapid decomposition. Dual lid design makes adding food and dumping of finished compost convenient rather than problematic. This newer model is easier to assemble than older units (using standard household tools), with less tiny parts and straight forward, illustrated instructions. Made for year-round, multi-season use.
- Features & Benefits
- Tips on Usage
- Specifications
- Shipping Details
- Large, 71 gallon capacity orb
- Dark color absorbs solar heat
- Spherical shape is easy to tumble, structurally stable
- Dual lids – inner small and outer large
- Base stand with ball bearings for easy rotation or orb
- Orb may also be mixed by rolling around the yard
- Air induction tubes bring oxygen into core
- When selecting a site for placement, look for an area with level, permeable ground and one that receives ample sun in winter and partial shade in summer
- All tumblers benefit by the addition of several handfuls of humus from an active pile, living soil or a few scoops of biologically active compost starter
- Rotate the unit by rolling in any direction daily to insure proper aeration – the churning movement provides the beneficial microorganisms with the necessary oxygen to break down the organic waste
- Maintain ample moisture levels inside – do not allow active pile to dry out or microbial activity will slow
- Stop adding materials when unit is 3/4 full so that contents can continue to move and mix freely
- Apply finished compost to the garden 3-4 weeks before plants so that the decomposed materials have time to integrate and stabilize within the soil
