Overview
A 22 gallon tumbling composter from FCMP Outdoor, made in Canada from 100 percent post-consumer recycled resin. Instead of digging into a pile, you load scraps through a removable door and turn the drum by hand.
The routine is to close the door and turn it 5 to 6 times every 2 to 3 days; in hot sunny conditions with a good balance of greens and browns, FCMP states compost can finish in as little as 2 weeks. Deep fins inside break up clumps as it turns and double as handholds on the outside, and aeration holes add oxygen beyond what a static bin gets.
- 22.5 gallon / 3 cu ft capacity
- Made in Canada from 100% recycled resin
- Turns 5 to 6 times every 2 to 3 days
- Can finish compost in about 2 weeks in hot sun
Who it's for
A good fit for a gardener or kitchen composter who wants a closed, no-dig system that speeds up with sun and regular turning. Less suited to a household generating large volumes of yard waste, since the drum holds only about 3 cubic feet.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- No digging, just close the door and turn
- Can finish compost in about 2 weeks in good conditions
- Large opening simplifies loading and unloading
- About 22.5 gallons, modest for larger households
- Finish speed depends on hot sun and correct mix
- Needs turning every 2 to 3 days to work as described
Performance notes
Aeration comes from a combination of drilled holes and internal fins that also break apart clumps as the drum rotates, which is the main advantage FCMP claims over a static bin. The stated 2-week finish time is conditional on hot sun and a proper green-to-brown ratio, so a shaded spot or an unbalanced mix will run slower than that headline figure.
