If you have been around my blog for a little while, you know I am all about trying to compost! Organic compost can do wonders for your garden and eliminate the need for fertilizers naturally. Growing up we always had a compost pile. We saved our vegetable scraps and carried them over to it almost daily. The reality it, for anyone that wants to garden, composting really should be a no-brainer.
Composting is simply the breakdown of decomposed organic material. This cycle occurs naturally in nature. When you produce organic waste through kitchen scraps, you can not stop the process of decomposing. Composting at home is basically the same process that occurs in nature but is intentional and managed. I have previously discussed ways to compost in my Composting 101 Series but today I get to share with you a new way that I am just trying-using a tumbling composter!
When I was contacted about the opportunity to review a Lifetime 50-Gallon Composter, I was beside myself. Other 30-year-old Mama’s may want jewelry or a new car but I am the practical one. I want things that can give my everyday life quality and make life easier. The truth is, I was so excited! I quickly had to call my husband to let him know. We made arrangements to have it delivered to an alternate location (a semi can not fit in my country circle drive). The day the box arrived at my door I the kids were just as excited as I was. They couldn’t wait to open the box and start building. Actually the both insisted that they could build it with the directions. I so wish I had gotten a photo of Austin studying the directions to put our Lifetime Composter together.
Once hubby had it all together, I gave it a quick spin and could quickly see just how easy this was going to be! Truly composting is such a win, win. It is the responsible thing to do for the environment but also will yield such a rich return in your garden. Using compost improves soil structure and aeration. The organic matter that compost gives provides food for the microorganisms in the soil, which in turn keeps the soil in a healthy, balanced condition.
Composting use to require either large bins in your backyard or simple a large heap gathered together. There is nothing wrong with using a composting bin, it just isn’t feasible for everyone. That is where Lifetime Products come in to play! What if you live in the city or have a relatively small space to compost? Why not try out Lifetime’s newest member of the family, a 50-gallon tumbling composter! It is all enclosed and requires no aerating, just simply turn the drum and it is designed to do the rest.

I can truly say, the Lifetime 50-gallon composter would make a great addition to any home! There is little effort required to make your compost and yet you can still reap rich rewards as if you had been adding to a compost heap for months! Although I have only used the Lifetime 50-gallon composter for a few weeks, I can tell that I will love it! I can add my organic matter, latch it closed and let the kids start turning! They think it is a load of fun and do not realize they are helping me in return.
Composting in the past may have just been for avid gardeners or farmers. Now with the assistance of a Lifetime Tumbling Composter even a beginning gardener can reap the rewards organic compost can give.
