We tried using a tumbling dual chamber composter this year. This was our experience. Please note that we are new to composting. Composter link: amzn.to/3m1db4S
I am no longer use toilet paper nor paper towel tubes composting orf or gardening (as seed starter cup/tubes) bc toilet paper has forever chemical added and paper towel has bleach and formaldehyde. I dont know if Canadian toilet and paper towels are different than the US ones.
I was curious to see if your results were any better than mine but it doesn't appear so. I bought one and tried it for two years before finally calling it quits. I ended up giving it away. A simple wood compost bin in the corner of the garden, turned occasionally, works much better.
Agreed, results are not that impressive. Although I would always forget to turn the pile in a simple compost bin, the tumbler makes it easier to turn. This year I'm trying to see if using a paper shredder for the browns does the trick. Will post a video if I get a good result.
I use a similar composter for food scraps as I do not want to attract any more wild animals than I already have. It takes much longer to compost as the contents freeze solid in winter. I leave it about a year and have been pleased. Important to cut the peels and skins us up small before putting them in.
Compost Starter would be good for this as it speeds up the decomposing in a natural way. 2-3 weeks vs. 2 months (or so they say). I just put mine together this morning. Thank you for your video.

Hi, that’s good to know, thanks. I think they are probably similar.
it takes long, however I pick worms from my garden beds and add them to speed things up.
Thats good to know.
Great video - we are thinking about getting this model also.
Thank you. Glad it was helpful. 😊
