iCompost Spherical E-Composter + Spider Base

The iCompost spherical shape has the lowest surface to volume ration of any shape, allowing retention of internally generated heat.The dark color absorbs heat from the sun, promoting faster decomposition. The sphere is able to tumble in any direction, randomly and effectively blending the contents to maintain consistency throughout 32 large and patented air induction tubes provide an influx of oxygenated air into the center of the active pile, while assisting in the break up and mixing of materials as the unit rotates mitigating clump formation. The two large access portals allow for easy dumping of scraps or harvesting of finished compost (each features a smaller central circle which can be opened with a special tool Designed to be rolled to the location needed  for either filling or dumping No sharp edges to harm children, pets or wildlife Please Note: Place your fingers in the side holes to lift to orb . DO NOT use the door handles, which are used to lock the outer lids in place. This unit is heavy when filled always place the base on level ground. When selecting a site for placement, look for an area with level, permeable ground and one that receives ample sun in winter and partial shade in summer. All tumblers benefit by the addition of several handfuls of humus from an active pile or a few scoops of compost starter. Rotate the unit in any direction daily to insure proper aeration ̐ the churning movement provides the beneficial microorganisms with the necessary oxygen to break down the organic waste. Maintain ample moisture levels inside ̐ do not allow active pile to dry out or microbe activity will slow. Stop adding materials when unit is 2/3 full so that contents can continue to move and mix freely. Apply finished compost to the garden 3-4 weeks before planting so that the decomposed materials have time to integrate and stabilize within the soil.
