User questions & answers

Question:	Is the drum individual panels that arrive pre assembled or is it a one piece plus the door drum
Answer:	Compost tea is made from finished compost, so yes. Dripping liquid from the composting process is called leachate, and it is not the same as compost tea.
Question:	How wide is the opening
Answer:	I read that I should place the composter in a shadier part of the yard. I got my composter this last winter and located it on the north side of the house. This is a little used area so it was as much for aesthetics as it was for advise. Anyway, our winters are pretty severe. I am in a zone 5. It got down past zero this year. I did not notice much composting action until spring. I never tried the hot water bottle trick, but I did add some compost starter when I got desperate for something to happen. As soon as the weather warmed up, this composter took off and I have one side that I am using on the garden already and the other side is already halfway done. I am very happy with the composter and don't blame it for not being too effective in the winter. If I had it to do over again, I might put the composter on the sunny side of the house, but then it would bake in the summer!
Question:	Are there any vents on this composter? How quickly does it compost
Answer:	Aaron, the clearance between the absolute bottom edge and the ground is 20 inches. That would assume the you intend to pour the contents straight down. The clearance from the bottom edge of the panel with the door, assuming your wheelbarrow is along side or partly under the tumbler is 30 inches. I find this perfectly reasonable because I do not empty all the contents out at one time. In fact, not so different from a "starter" in making sour dough bread, it is useful to leave some of the contents in the tumbler.
Question:	does this come assembled
Answer:	I wish I had room in my garage or shed for mine. I have mine on my back patio and don't have any issues with odor whatsoever. I don't think it is a matter of smell at all. You may get some flies and gnats though. Just a part of composting. If it does get smelly, add some wood chips or shredded cardboard. You have too much "green matter". It is really best to mix a full load at a time so you get the right mix. If you want to continue adding kitchen scraps, start with at least 80% browns, and add the greens as you go. Keep it moist, but not wet.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to add straw or any carbon ratio or is it just food waste
Answer:	This works very well for a composter. Easy to put together.
Question:	Is the plastic BPA free
Answer:	Yes. There are indent places as handholds to help roll it on its base. I like my 2.
Question:	Can I get some assembly instructions or a link please
Answer:	6 x 10 inches
Question:	Has anyone had this long enough to get usable compost? If so, would you recommend it for someone who has never done composting before
Answer:	My unit opens very easily. I have to clear the door occasionally of small debris that collect in the track the door uses. If yours was difficult to open day one use some sand paper on the door ( bottom and top edge) and / or the main unit track (to remove any plastic molding leftovers). This could solve the problem and be easier on you than a return. If no amount of removing burrs etc. helps the situation then a return may be necessary. Mold injection plastic is notorious for having to have its edges cleaned up a bit. This often is not done as much as is needed at the end of the manufacturing process. I regularly have to finish the job on plastic mold injection products. I love my unit. It is the perfect size for my porch and for me to pick up and empty. It does spill out small particles through vent holes... something one needs to expect and understand as part of the design.

Product description

Made of 100-percent recycled plastic, and molded in the USA, the dark plastic color absorbs the suns heat which in turn helps heat up the materials in side, speeding up the composting process. Inside the compost bin, the walls are ribbed providing added strength and superior mixing action. The dual mixing bar greatly increases the mixing action allowing the compost to aerate with each turn. With 20 ventilation slots, the compost inside the bin will always have enough oxygen to keep it well aerated, and when standing upright, the slots allow compost tea to drain out easily into the soil. A single hole on each of the four panels of the bin make an easy-to-use port for a compost thermometer. This makes it easy to get a quick, mess-free temperature reading on the compost inside without even opening the bin. The tumbling action of the bin keeps the contents inside mixed well, creating compost in almost half the time as a stationary compost bin. The bin holds up to 60 gallons (or about 9.3 cubic feet), and the sturdy, powder coated steel legs hold the bin securely off the ground. Along with being off the ground, the twist-locking lids on either end keep animal pests out and away from the compost. The sturdy stand keeps the bin off the ground and allows for easy rotation. With compost instructions embossed on the inside of each lid, you can always have a quick reference for what items can and cannot be composted. Spin Bin Specifications: • Recycled plastic • Holds up to 60 gallons (9.3 cu ft.) • 1-Inch thick powder coated steel legs Spin Bin Features: • 20 ventilation/drainage slots • 4 compost thermometer ports • Dual locking lids • Sturdy, powder coated legs • Easy assembly only needs a Phillips screwdriver • Wide mouth for easy access to contents inside • Compost instructions embossed in each lid • Available in black

User questions & answers

Question:	Once you stop adding new compost, how long before it's "done" and ready to use in the garden
Answer:	The latches are tight, but bears are very clever creatures. And strong. They can even open car doors. :-) So we would not say it is bear proof. It will keep out raccoons, though.
Question:	Is the opening large enough to accomodate a shovel to load it? Is it high up enough to unload into a wheel barrow
Answer:	Yes it does come with a stand. We just received ours a few days ago, super fast shipping and worth every penny. Mantis is super great quality, amazons deal and shipping the best! Just do it!
Question:	can it be modified to raise nightcrawlers
Answer:	Yes, eating on the goodies you can stuff into him...
Question:	Has anyone solved the problem of emptying the bin? I hoped to empty into a tub but too low to the ground. Used a plastic sheet & shoveled into tub
Answer:	I don 't think my compost has ever been ready in two weeks. I like to cure it at least six weeks. My Mantis sits out in the weather with no problems. It needs the sun to heat the compost. I like it very much!
