Compost-Twin w/Activator
This well- constructed two-chamber composter provides enough space for ten bushels of raw material in each chamber.
The Compost-Twin is designed so that one side is composting to become finished product while you continue loading the second chamber.
By the time the second chamber is full, the first one is ready to empty.
The secret to turning compost easily is the gear-driven mechanism in the Mantis compost tumbler. Children enjoy turning the crank and counting the number of turns.
This composter’s height makes it Easy to load and unload neatly contained compost, and also Protects compost from small animals.

Heat - the ideal heat for composting is between 60-70 degrees.
Air -Since germs need ventilation it is recommended to turn your compost at least once a day
Humidity-Optimal compost humidity levels are 50%-60% - to check your compost humidity level – reach in to the middle of the compost – if it is moist, your compost is in good shape.
C:N Ratio -The Carbon-Nitrogen ratio should be 25-30:1. Not enough nitrogen will slow the compost process, and not enough carbon will create bad smells in the compost (brown colored materials are rich in carbon,green colored materials are rich in nitrogen)
