I am not a huge fan of tumblers. I have one and it is hard to turn when things start to breakdown. I like the black compost bin that you own. Just my opinion. 🙂
Why would you want the two chambers dividing your compost?
Won't the worms cook when the compost is "cooking" on this type of composter?
I think earthworms die if they get over 95 degrees F so that bin will kill them.
So how does the composting thermometer work to tell me what to change about my compost? What temperatures do I need to reach for compost to happen? Do I need to add compost starter mix?
What's the purpose of divider?
Thank u for all
Wondering if browns and greens should be damp and if water is added and the proportion to the browns and greens or consistency you want, if so
Where did you get your compost thermometer from?
I am so excited! I bought a tumbler by Nazhurn from Amazon as well. I just put it together yesterday. I am new to composting. Can I store my compost? If so, for how long? What is the best way to store it?
I hope you are very careful about adding worms! A black plastic container can get really hot and kill the worms since they have no way to escape the heat. Not unlike leaving a pet dog in your hot car!
I am putting the same type of tumbler together today for my very first compost bin. Do you have any videos that you suggest I watch? If you do should I watch them in any particular order. I watched several other videos that came up first but I subscribed to yours. Your videos look well made, informative, and you speak plainly. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. My wife and I look forward to a beautiful vegetable garden. Do you use it on your lawn? Do you have a video on how much compost to use and how often to apply it?
Love Your Shirt !!!!
You mentioned manure, what kind is best? A friend has sheep manure that I can have. Is that alright to use? Also, do you have to set it aside for a few months to let it dry? I heard it will burn your plants if you put it on too soon.
Thanks again, in really learning a lot from you!

Thank you for calling out how difficult was to build. I thought I was going crazy! Took me a few hours.
I am looking to buy a compost tumbler. Would you recommend thus based on your experience so far?
Is there a wide opening to take the compost out? Or do you have to pull it out of the little doors?
LOL…love the name of your channel.
