Mine is the 80 gallon but like I said, I think I could have gone smaller.

I ordered the same composter yesterday from Tractor Supply. I was just looking to see what I had actually bought. Looks like I got my monys worth. Thanks for showing it.
Awesome! Happy composting. This one is heavy to turn when full. (80 gallon)
Thank you for taking the time to video this for us!
Thank you foot commenting! Good luck with your compost tumbler😁
Built this today - was tough! Thanks for the vid - very pretty lady!
Good job! Takes some muscle doesn’t it! Thanks a bunch. Have a great day and subscribe!
Oh sweet, I made one out of a 55 gallon drum a few years ago, I painted it dark color to help with the heat. Thanks for sharing. This looks like a great one. Nothing wrong with a huge one, it will last a long time as well. Thanks again my friend and good luck with your new composter.
Thanks again and have a blessed week

Great way to recycle garbage and turn it into something useful. Great job, Dani, thanks for sharing!
Those grooves next to the latches are for your hands so you can spin it whilst standing directly in front of it.. They are spaced so you can get a good rhythm going.. . Standing to the side and trying to spin it is more difficult.. Nice video
Good tip! its so heavy still! hahah!
Awesome Compost.. Enjoy it!! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice. I look forward to seeing the finished product.
Nice. I have one not quite as nice or large as yours but it def gets the job done and has lasted for about 7 years so far. Composting is a very cool thing to do eh and a lot simpler when you have a super duper one like the one you have. Cheers😊
Yes! Glad to hear it Eddie!
I am really enjoying this video today. Thanks for sharing!👍😎
This is a very nice Composter :) We really need one of these :) Thanks for sharing!!
Nice! I have the same tumbler and just ordered my second so I can let one cook and have one to add to... I keep adding to it and slowing it down hah!
HI Bob! thanks for coming by! I noticed my tumbler lets the rain in, so it gets mushy if I do not cover it in extreme rainy weeks. I am glad you are loving yours.
Looking at getting a tumbler myself. But seems funny that you have to drill all the assembly hole yourself.????😣Especially on something this expensive. Thank you for showing us.
I don't love it actually I don't use it and am giving it to a friend here on youtube. :) I now bury my scraps in my garden! :) get a smaller on if you get one this is too big to turn when its full! and thanks for watching!
@@Bellavanacoffee 👍
Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
Great composting information. Have a great weekend.
What is that rattling sound when you rotate the tumbler? I even heard it when it was empty at the beginning of your video.
I’m not sure what the sound is- this is an old video
Agree, I love composting as well!!! If the grubs get into the garden can't that be a neusance in the actuall garden?
I have never had an issue with the grubs ...I just leave the compost out to finish and they are gone...or I make a "slurry" water mix and they drown first. :)
@@Bellavanacoffee ok, I was just wondering because we had a bunch of grubs in our garden this year, and in was told they were a tell tale sign of moles, and moles will hurt the garden... but who knows haha
Ty Dani great job my friend blessings to you
I don't have grass - what else could I add if I don't have this?
Oh just balance the wet with the dry. So, shredded paper, cardboard to go with the food scraps.
Thank you for sharing your video. How long before you had usable compost with the tumbler?
I actually went back to using my compost pile. It got so wet, it needs to be covered if you get heavy rains.
That's a nice one. And yea they get hard to turn.
You are supposed to add compost at the very beginning to inoculate it with the decomposing bacteria
cool thanks!
Oh, the heat is necessary. It needs to be in the sun (like you have it). I have a tiny tumbler.
Cool video! Do you tinker with worms for composting at all? That's a fun project and the stuff they produce is pure garden gold :-)
Hey Cruze's! Yes I had wrigglers a few years ago. AMAZING stuff! I went on a trip and we moved them inside because it was summer. still...the heat killed them. I was sad!
@@Bellavanacoffee Awww sorry bout that!
That is really nice
Can you compost cereal, pasta boxes?
Yes! I only compost cardboard that is from food because it is supposed to be "food grade " to have food in it. Thanks for watching and I hope you subscribe! I use cardboard in my garden!
@@Bellavanacoffee Thanks!! this makes a lot of sense. I never thought about the idea of cardboard being food grade. That really makes the idea of composting so much easier!!
@@kevinlow7701 That is great to hear! composting is awesome, any way you do it. I am still learning on the tumbler. I will do an update video soon. Take care.
Don't add water. You pretty much never have to add water to any compost tumbler. Your materials of cut grass and especially kitchen cuttings are very moisture-rich. If your contents are dripping liquid, your material balance is out - too much moisture-rich, nitrogen rich materials and too little dry carbon-rich materials. Your compost will smell because you'll have an anerobic situation instead of aerobic. It should always smell earthy. Holes in the pipe don't make much difference for airflow - material can easily get stuck in the holes. Look how big that lid opening is. Just opening the lid lets in plenty of fresh air. Flies could get in through the holes in the side of the unit if they wanted to, so I wouldn't worry about not keeping the lid open for long. It really doesn't matter. The types of insects that go for decomposing organic material, like black soldier flies, would aid the composting process, so they're all good. Moisture balance is regulated by what you put in.
right! yes the rain got it wet and soaked. I just bury my compost in my garden now. :)
@@Bellavanacoffee One afternoon I left the lid open of my YOLO Compost Tumbler while working in the garden. I forgot, went inside and it later rained - 40mm! By adding loads more brown materials and tumbling more often for a few days, it came right. The problem with tumblers where you only have one drum is that when it is full and the compost now needs a few weeks for the last-added materials to compost, then you need a second drum to start filling with new materials.
@@yolocomposttumbler yes you are right you need 2! this one is so big it was hard to turn also!
I always wondered why ad water?
I don't agree to put paper, toilet paper and cooked food, I put only dry leaves from trees and egg shells and veggies peels.
I don't put toilet paper, just the rolls made of cardboard. Only minimal cooked food makes it in, some rice or pasta maybe..all natural. But to each their own way.
You barely added any browns (paper, dried out leaves, cardboard) in this video. Everything I've seen online says try to keep greens and browns 50/50. (grass and food scraps are greens).
Thanks for the tips!
You need more brown material.
Egg shells don’t seem to break down well.
oh is that right? you could crush them to get it started? interesting. I used to rinse and dry my eggshells, crush to a powder and bury with my tomato seedlings for calcium when planting. Its a lot of work though.
better to put cardboard without colored ink..
You are right! Thanks for watching!
Your teeth are beautiful
Haha well thank you! You are kind!
what a lot of food you waste!! eg grapes / jacket potatoes -youre supposed to eat them not throw them away!
um, I only compost food that is not edible anymore, and i did not "throw it away" I turned it back into food for my garden.
