User questions & answers

Question:	what is the best mixture of scraps to put in the composter to start the first batch in a brand new yimby tumbler composter
Answer:	Yes it does. It does not come with a mat.
Question:	Any tips for winter usage, once temperatures cause the compost to freeze
Answer:	Yes, if you print a cake on a shirt and make decorations for it then you could use it for cake decorating purposes
Question:	do you have to put it together and is it difficult we are not good at assembly
Answer:	I use a teflon sheet and no you don't have to press too hard. I used to use my iron and this thing is AAAAAmazing!!! Time and heat control... no more guessing or over heating.
Question:	Is it bear proof
Answer:	Your iron may be greatly superior to mine...But the advantages that this heat press has over my iron are these: 1) I'm able set the exact temperature I need. (I didn't realize what a difference this would make!) 2) The heat press is HEAVY. I want a lightweight iron for ironing clothes, but want pressure (which weight provides) for heat transfer designs. 3) This heat press has a timer. I've been amazed how much better my work turns out when I'm a little more careful about the timing. These are the three major advantages I've found in using a heat press over my iron. To be truthful, any heat press probably delivers these. But the smaller, more compact size (even with the largest, the 12 x 10--which I purchased), and hence, easier storage when not in use...is what tipped the scales for me when choosing the Cricut over the other brands of heat presses. Hope this helps your decision-making!

Tumbling Design

Avoid digging and mixing your compost pile by hand. The tumbling design makes mixing easy and efficient. Just close the door and turn it 5-6 times every 2-3 days. In hot sunny conditions and with a proper balance of ingredients the compost can finish in as little as 2 weeks.

Two Composting Chambers

Two separate sides allow the first side to finish cooking while leaving the second side available to add fresh scraps/clippings. Continuously swapping sides after finishing will create an uninterrupted flow of rich, healthy compost.

Durable Construction

The composter body is constructed from polypropylene. It is contact safe and will not degrade under direct sunlight. The galvanized steel frame is corrosion resistant.

Excellent Aeration

The composter features adjustable air vents as well as deep fins to break up clumps inside the chamber and mix lots of oxygen into the compost. Tumbling composters allow far greater aeration than standard models.

• CONTROL ODORS NATURALLY: The airtight lid and replaceable activated-charcoal filter work together to trap and control odors naturally, so your kitchen compost bin can sit conveniently on your countertop or wherever you need it. The chic modern design also complements any decor.
• SIMPLE CLEANING PROCESS: The stylish stainless steel bin is molded in one piece and resists rust and leaks, unlike other bins that are welded and prone to rust and leakage at the weld points over time. Eco-friendly convenience is always at your fingertips, while nasty bacteria is not.
• PUT IT ANYWHERE: The 1 gallon size is big enough to hold several days’ worth of compostable organic kitchen waste like vegetable peels, fruits, and coffee grounds yet still small enough to fit on countertops. Measures 7.16” in diameter x 11” high.
• DURABLE STAINLESS STEEL CONSTRUCTION TO LAST A LIFETIME: Molded in a single piece for strength and durability that won’t scratch, crack or chip. Made of premium, rust-resistant 304 grade stainless steel -- will never leach toxic chemicals into your compost.
• COMES WITH REPLACEABLE CHARCOAL FILTER: The specially designed activated-charcoal filter is the key to an odorless indoor compost bin. The filter can be cleaned with soap and water, like the bin. Will last more than 6 months with careful handling.

User questions & answers

Question:	What number filter does this take
Answer:	I bought mine replacement filetr for $3.80 from OurCrazyDeals - Filter 93F
Question:	will the scraps actually compost in this or must they be moved to a regular compost bin
Answer:	Folks, you must really stop and think. IF you know nothing of composting, read up on it! You use food scraps to put in your COMPOSTER in your YARD. This BIN, is used to temporarily store the food scraps until you have enough to take to the composter. where the food scraps break down, compost and turn into dirt. it is magical and you can even stand and watch it happen. However, you might well wear out waiting for it to happen. IF you have a tumbler composter, you can turn food scraps into dirt in 2 weeks otherwise, it will take much longer but the rewards are great. Before composting, we were buying potting soil for the garden to plant the veggies and flowers into. Now, with compost, we only occasionally will purchase fertilizer but stick pretty much to the compost. I am using right now 7 different bins for composting and turn it out rapidly. If you read up on it, you can actually learn and then you will not need to ask some of the questions I have seen in here. Good luck!
Question:	fruit flies
Answer:	yes, I've had it a week and I noticed fruit flies around it and the inside was filled with larvae. The larvae were even in the filter and around the edge of the lid where it holds the filter in. The bin was easy to clean but the lid was a pain to wash out and I left it all outside to wash again before bringing into the house.
Question:	how do you change the charcoal filter
Answer:	I have found two methods that work for me: 1. finger pinch - usually works for the first filter, but not so well for the second and 2. (my favorite) thick end of a chopstick or a thick bar stir stick. I always have a few chopsticks sets laying around and I found that thicker end will not poke a hole in your filters. Just push it through one of the top holes and it will push both filters far enough out so that you can grab them with your hands. For the hot second of annoyance that you might feel about needing extra equipment, it is so worth it! The double filter is a life and nose saver. Trust me! On a side note: I recommend that you pick up a extra set of round filters for every square/circle replacement pack you buy. The bottom (round filter) will need to be replaced more often then the top (square) filter. If the bottom filter gets wet accidentally (usually happens when I over fill the bin), it will mold and FAST. Top filter stays pretty dry, so you will not have to change it as often. Hope this helps and happy composting!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it need to sit in sunlight
Answer:	It should sit in the sun. The heat from the sun helps break down the compost.
Question:	Does this have drainage
Answer:	It doesn't have true "drainage," but it is not air tight. When I add water from time to time, it does leak a bit.
Question:	would bears be able to get into this
Answer:	I would say yes. It's sturdy enough to handle the compost, but a decent sized bear would probably be able to break it apart.
Question:	How do you dump the compost out of the bin
Answer:	open the sliding door, put a tub under it and rotate until it begins to dump out

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much do these things smell? Want to put composter inside a small area behind our shed if the smell won't nauseate the kiddos
Answer:	We have one in our backyard and I almost never smell it. The only time I have noticed a smell has been when the lid is open and I am dumping more kitchen scraps in it and even then it's not that often. All the compost books say if it does smell bad that means you need more greens or browns depending on the smell.
Question:	What is the capacity
Answer:	According to the calculator, 12 cubic feet equals almost 90 gallons--if you're mixing your nitrogen to carbon ratios using 5 gallon buckets. This looks like an excellent explanation for how to fill your composter: https://savvygardening.com/compost-how-to-guide-based-on-science/
Question:	Since it doesn't have a bottom, will that work on our patio? We live in a condo and only have a large patio area that is concrete
Answer:	I wouldn't use this in your situation. It would definitely stain the patio. I'd find a different design. Also you'll need to make sure you have enough dry material in the composter or it will stink if your compost is mostly kitchen scraps. In your situation I'd probably go for worm composting. My daughter made a vermicompost kit out of a couple of inexpensive storage bins at a camp a number of years ago. One has holes drilled into it and the other is solid so any worms or leakage will go into the outer bin. Here is an article on the subject: http://compost.css.cornell.edu/worms/basics.html You need to get red worms or red wigglers from a bait store, not common earth worms from the soil for best results.
Question:	How do the top doors open? Easy enough to do one handed? Do they keep out the raccoons
Answer:	I have not had any problems with raccoons or rodents at all. The top locks tightly. And yes, I can open it one handed to throw in a small amount of scraps but otherwise, two hands work better to take the entire top off when adding large amounts, leaves or twigs and grass clippings. Remember to turn it at least once a week - I use a pitchfork to do that task. Good luck!

Composting: Help Yourself and the Environment at the Same Time

The composting trend is growing and the most recent research shows that In 2012 the U.S recycled and composted almost 87 million tons of municipal solid waste. This saves more than 1.1 quadrillion Btu of energy; that's the same amount of energy used by 10 million households in one year.

Over 19 million tons of yard trimmings were composted in 2012, which is 5 times more than in 1990.

Food waste is the single largest type of item thrown away making up 21 percent of everything we throw out. We might as well use this food waste to fertilize our gardens rather than paying to have it sent to a landfill! The Soil Savers extra large capacity make it perfect for accommodating a good deal of food scraps.

Access Your Compost Easily

Dual hatch doors allow you convenient access to your compost whenever needed.

The Advantage of SoilSaver Bin Composting

The items you put in first will be at the bottom and should be the first out. This is a big benefit because you can use a little compost at a time if you need to. This is an advantage compared to most tumbling composters. With many tumbling composters, all the old scraps are mixed with the new waste which means all of the compost in the bin needs to be ready before you can use any of it.

More Advantages of the Best Compost Bin

The slots and louvers throughout the compost bin let air in and out for aeration which helps food waste break down quickly into rich compost.

The 0.200" thick resin walls provide excellent strength and durability.

The extra large 12 cubic foot capacity means you will have plenty of space for your compost waste

Lid is easy to open and lock making it convenient to add to your composter while keeping animals out

A Sense of Humus goes Well with Compost

A simple to follow yet comprehensive guide helps you put the right food waste and yard trimmings into your composter.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you get the finished compost out? Can a shovel fit in the doors or do you turn the bin, open the door and dump out finished compost
Answer:	I find it very stable. Most of the time one side is full and “cooking” while I am filling the other side. If you need to you could put sand bags on the base. Here in California I get 2 buckets of lovely soil from one side very 3 to 4 weeks
Question:	What is the floorprint size of composter
Answer:	My guess is if it's Israeli it's made by Keter who makes plastic sheds, deck boxes etc.
Question:	Is this BPA free
Answer:	I made 2 batches so far. The 1st I filled 3/4 full and let it sit. Over time the pile lessened to about 1/2 as it composted. I filled the 2nd chamber full and am waiting for it to do its work...after 2 weeks it’s still pretty full, although it has decreased, and continues to compost.
Question:	Is this tumbler suitable to be sitting in direct sun in the Central Valley? 110F is not unusual
Answer:	When you add water, put a bin underneath and you will get compost tea.

Question:	How long before the compost become usable in the garden
Answer:	We notice no smell. The bin sits on our patio. We also haven't noticed much (or any) decomposition and it has been about four to five weeks.
Question:	Is the plastic BPA free
Answer:	I'm not sure what you mean by BOA? Do you mean BPA?
Question:	How many cubic yards does each dude hold
Answer:	Hi I’m in hot, humid Houston, and we didn’t notice any strong odor, as it’s got To be a mix with grass clipping and whatnot. Of course, it wasn’t right next to our door, but all the same, it was not bad at all. I’d like to add that I highly recommended this product!
