These little tumblers are super, but they don’t hold very much. Together they have a capacity of 37 gallons.
It doesn’t take many clippings to fill them up. While we’re waiting for the plant material to compost in them, all the fresh clippings pile up beside them waiting for their turn. The problem with that is there are two basic components to compost, brown and green; carbon and nitrogen. The recipe for productive aerobic decomposition is two parts green for one part brown. While the fresh clipping are waiting for their turn in the drum, they’re going from green to brown. We need to take advantage of them while they’re green!
Enter the 50 gallon roller drum.
That could work.
Or maybe a 100 gallon setup!
Two side-by-side 50 gallon drums.
We’re headed off on a trip soon. Might have to look into these when we get back.
