Compost Tumbler Sighting!

I was out for a walk and I saw this compost tumbler tucked away in a little park... I've seen plenty of dual-chamber composters before, but not this one. I hopped the fence to take a closer look at it- it's a pretty nice design, although I wish it were larger. It had drain holes on the corners, which is great especially for a tumbler since they tend to get over-saturated too easily. I'm stoked they have a composter on site... we need a lot more of that.

For this year's gardening efforts, I used a mix of mushroom compost, my own compost and vermicompost... my results so far are much better than last year, and I think adding a blend of materials helped.
