The Spin Bin compost tumbler… kinda nice, but not for me.

Uh oh, here comes the Spin Bin!  It looks like this was built in direct response to the old Tumbleweed compost tumbler model and all of its complaints on YouTube…even the sound quality of the video.

Basically, they took the old model and added a bunch of ventilation slots all over it.  I think this was a good addition, as the holes in the other one were rather sparse and tiny.  On top of that, they added specific holes for placing your compost thermometer inside…awesome!

They also mention that the interior of the tumbler is now ribbed, for your composting pleasure.  I guess this helps move the material around inside a bit better?  I have no idea.  Seems like this would be the case.

In case you forgot how to compost, there’s instructions forged into the lid…on the inside!  It would be funny to have a full tumbler, forget how to make compost and take off lid and peer through the slime to read the instructions.  Seems a bit useless.

My main complaint is still the same, it’s way too large for me to consider using.  My backyard is cramped as it is, and this would never work…however for those of you with ample space, it seems okay.  It looks like a cement mixer or something…but uglier.  If they figured out how to make this collect compost tea, that would be a huge plus.
