Best Answer

A compost tumbler is a drum mounted on rollers that has an attached crank thus making the turning of the compost easier. This turning mixes air with the composting material and speeds up the composting process. You can make your own or you can buy one from Compos Tumbler or other gardening companies.

Compost tumblers are used for quickly composting biodegradable garbage to later be used as an environmentally-friendly and powerful fertilizer. Although effective at producing quality fertilizer, compost tumblers require work to maintain and gardeners should be prepared to deal with an awful stench.
