|
|
| I've had a Garden Way compost tumbler for a little over twenty years now. I've followed the directions for mix ratios, I've added alfalfa meal, bone meal, dry dog food, and I cant get the thing to heat up. Even on the hottest of days with fresh mowed bermuda and mulched leaves it still wont get hot. Any suggestions will be appreciated...... |

| Search this forum (link at top of this page) for compost, etc. & you will find tons of info. on this subject. It might be too dry/wet, you're turning it too often, no sugars to fire it up, etc.,etc. |

| I don't have any actual experience with the tumbler so I can't add anything. There are people on this forum that use or have used them; hopefully someone will respond. |
