Q: How does the dual-batch design work?
One chamber of the rolling composter holds a new batch while the other continues breaking down, so you always have compost finishing while you keep adding scraps.
CT106 - Dual-Batch Rolling Composter
This item is not available for this region.
With two separate side-by-side compartments, this rolling composter lets you continuously cycle two batches of compost from your kitchen scraps and yard waste.
Once you have filled one compartment, leave this first batch to age while adding fresh material to the second compartment; when the first batch is ready, the compartment can be emptied to accept new material, while the second batch is then left to break down, continuing the cycle. Turning the barrel every few days introduces air into the compost, speeding decomposition. Internal baffles aid mixing, and an adjustable vent lets you control airflow. The sliding lid provides access to the contents, with symbols to identify which compartment contains new material and which one is being left to age. With each completed batch, simply rotate the lid to ensure correct identification. Finished compost is produced in just 4 to 6 weeks.
The 26" × 28" UV-resistant polypropylene barrel stands 36" tall on the galvanized steel frame. Each compartment has a capacity of 2.5 cubic feet.

One chamber of the rolling composter holds a new batch while the other continues breaking down, so you always have compost finishing while you keep adding scraps.
Turning the barrel every few days works air into the pile, which speeds decomposition and helps prevent odours.
Finished compost typically develops in about four to six weeks, depending on what you add and how often you turn the barrel.
Each compartment of the compost tumbler holds 2.5 cu.ft. of material, enough for a steady, ongoing cycle.
Yes, an adjustable vent lets you regulate airflow to match the batch's moisture level and stage of decomposition.
Markings on the rotating lid indicate which chamber holds new material and which is aging, so you don't mix up the batches.
