The Compost Mate aerator has been ergonomically designed to make mixing and aerating your compost light and easy. Simply insert it into the bin or heap by twisting it then lift to bring the contents to the surface. Do this in a variety of positions to create the ideal environment for rapid decomposition. With just a few minutes of light work each week, you can thoroughly mix and aerate your compost – and in doing so, create the perfect condition to encourage rapid decomposition of your organic waste. Research shows that a Tumbleweed Aerator will produce rich compost five times faster than organic waste that’s left to decompose without turning and aeration.
