User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a way to drain for compost tea? thx
Answer:	Ours pretty much filled up in three weeks. It's ready based on how much sun you get really. We rolled ours everyday. Also, make sure to put in a little bit of moisture. Also need some grass clippings and leaves from the yard, get it going faster. Last tip: Cut up your scraps when convenient. The smaller the stuff you put in, the faster it composts!
Question:	Did anyone else have a problem with one of the main panels coming apart from the circular side panel? I replaced the holding scre but panel still open

Answer:	the botanical body oil is for hydrating skin and helps improve appearance of blemishes, stretch marks etc. this is not a tanning product at all.
Question:	Can I continually add more to this bin, as kitchen scraps and other materials are available, or do I need to add everything all at once and wait

Answer:	We will be leaving it out for winter - the stand is metal and my husband has sprayed it with a rust preventer

User questions & answers

Question:	How sturdy is this item? Will it fall over in a strong wind? I live where the winds blow fairly hard at times
Answer:	I actually toss a little bit (maybe 6 cups) of soil from my garden in my compost when starting it out and it seems to give it a good kick. Just add 50/50 green and brown material with it and it will take off. Make sure to check it often if it gets sunny outside. Compost seems to dry out fast when it's hot, due to bacteria and fungus using a lot more water when it gets hot.
Question:	where is it made
Answer:	I keep adding to my compost all winter. I just don't turn it over as often, maybe once every 2 weeks or so. While nothing will "cook" during the winter, you'll have fresh material on standby for when it does start to warm up. I suppose my only tip would be to make sure you add material to it during the daytime and make sure your composter stays in a sunny spot. The door can freeze "shut" at night due to the lower temperatures and any moisture along the track.I've already been through one winter with it and I sincerely had no issues and didn't have to make any changes to the way I used the tumbler.
Question:	at what point do I stop putting waste in and stop so it fully composts? There seems to be a lack of info about the transition
Answer:	You have to assemble it. I brought it about a year ago and put off trying to put it together until yesterday, because of all the reviews saying it was difficult. I didn't find it hard to figure out how to do it , and thought the instructions that came with it did a good job of showing you how to do it . It was time consuming because you have to put in 57 small screws with the nuts. I'm a woman, 76 years old with no especial insight on assembling things. It looks like it will do a good job for me.
Question:	can we get compost tea
Answer:	NO, NOT AT ALL. Compared to actual bear-proof stuff, this lightweight plastic thing is like playdough. It's not pretending to be otherwise. Bears require heavy metal and tricky locking mechanisms--and, even so, they still break open car doors and trunks. If you have bear issues, maybe keep this in an area enclosed by a tall, strong fence, or in a garage/shed/barn, if you have one big enough for that to work and not overwhelm you with stink.
