EN COMPOSTING INFORMATION AND TIPS! The Tumbling Composter contains a mechanism with rods or fins that mixes and breaks up larger clusters to activate and “fasten” the decomposing process. Such composters are able to reach a temperature of more than 140°F (60°C) . In order for compost to be efficient, it requires a correct mixture ratio of “brown” (carbon) and “green” (nitrogen) materials (see LIST OF KEY COMPONENTS FOR GREAT COMPOST).
EN Nitrogen - "Green" ingredients range from lawn clippings and green leaves to manures and garden trimmings and are all ideal sources of nitrogen for composting. The same can be said of kitchen waste, such as vegetable and fruit leftovers, which also generate nitrogen. Kitchen waste can be kept in a plastic container under the sink and should be cut up into smaller pieces before adding them to the composter.
