For optimal composting, it's best to turn your compost tumbler regularly. The Great Green Systems 180 Litre Compost Tumbler manual suggests turning the tumbler at least 2 to 3 times per week. When you add new materials, give it a few turns to mix things up. Turning aerates the compost, which is crucial for decomposition. The process is simple: Make sure the tumbler is securely closed. Hold the handle firmly and rotate the tumbler clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the model. Rotate it several times to mix and aerate the contents. Turn with enough force to mix effectively but gently enough to avoid spillage. Regular turning aids decomposition, resulting in nutrient-rich compost for your garden.
