And thank you for adding in the part about coffee grounds. I forgot them on my handy list within the post. I am going to ask at Starbucks the next time that I go. Loving the Tumbler!

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the Tumbleweed so far. I have one at my house too. Tumblers don't typically hold as much material as a large bin that sits on the ground, but they often do make compost faster. And they're much, much easier to keep your contents well mixed and aerated, as you mention. They also keep your compost contained, and up off the ground and away from any squirrels or other pests. What I like specifically about the Tumbleweed is that there is a lid on either side. So it doesn't matter which end is facing up -- it's easy to add more materials. Don't forget that if you make coffee at home, you can also throw in the coffee grounds and the filter into your compost pile or bin. Coffee grounds are a nitrogen rich material. And if you buy all of your coffee at Starbucks, they give away free coffee grounds too if you just ask. Thanks for mentioning us in your post!
