There’s no better way to smother weeds, retain moisture and

 pamper plants than with a top-dressing of rich, dark

 compost.

It feeds them gently, helps build disease resistance,

 improves

 soil and produces more bountiful yields.

Yet store-bought compost is expensive. Covering an average

 500 square foot vegetable garden with a 2” to 3” layer of

 compost runs around $100. Treating your flower beds raises

 the ante higher.

Of course, you can always make a compost pile, provided you

 have a place where it’s out of view, plus a lot of strength and

 patience. Leave it alone, and it’ll probably take a year

 or more

 to decompose. Turn it regularly with a pitchfork, a

 cumbersome job, and it will still take many months.

Or you could buy a compost maker. It will pay for itself quickly

 in mulch and fertilizer costs, and will speed up the

 composting process significantly.

There are substantial differences among models,

 so it pays to

 do your homework first. Here are a few questions

 to ask:

In a recent test performed by members of the National Home

 Gardening Club, the Tumbleweed Composter was rated 9.1

 out of a possible 10 for ease of use, 9.5 for

 durability and 10

 for performance. Take a look at its features

 and it’s easy to

 see why.

The Tumbleweed’s patented design includes a stainless steel

 rod through the center that promotes aeration and

 dramatically speeds results. You’ll be pampering your plants

 with nutrient-rich compost in as little as 21 days – four times

 faster than traditional methods.

Assembly takes 15 minutes or less with just a screwdriver.

 After that, just toss in some composting material – food

 scraps, leaves and grass

 clippings that otherwise go to waste. There are lids on both

 ends for easy loading and unloading. Complete instructions

 are included, so you’ll know

 exactly what materials work best for composting.

A compact 46” H x 26” W x 34” deep, the Tumbleweed fits

 nicely in small spaces. Its attractive design blends in with the

 background; it’s not an eyesore like many other compost bins.

In addition, it’s made of heavy duty UV-protected

 polypropylene plastic with rustproof galvanized steel legs.

 Made in Australia, it’s designed to withstand harsh climate

 extremes.

Give your Tumbleweed a daily spin and you’ll be rewarded

 with earthy dark brown compost in a few short weeks. (The

 exact timing varies depending on factors such as weather

 and composting materials.) It’s easy to turn, even when full.

 The vented lids allow for even air flow and drainage.

Altogether, the Tumbleweed’s combination of fast results,

 ease of use, large capacity, compact design, rugged

 construction and affordable price make it a superior choice.

Best of all, with the Tumbleweed, you’ll enjoy unlimited

 quantities of free organic fertilizer. What’s more, you’ll never

 have to buy mulch again.
