tube sections snap together using springed push buttons
and require no screws (Fig. 5). Note that identical right
angled tube sections are diagonal from one another.
7. Install the assembled composter drum onto the
assembled frame by securing both sides of the axle and

What To Compost
The composter works best by mixing moist nitrate-rich greens
with dry, carbon-rich browns in a 2 parts green to 1 part
brown ratio. The following diagram shows various examples of
green and brown compostable, as well as non-compostable
materials (Fig. 7).
How to Compost
1. First, choose a suitable location with direct sunlight and
a flat surface with enough room to accommodate the
rotation of the composter.
2. Slide open one of the doors and add new material for
composting (Fig. 8).
3. Close the door and tumble the composter drum 5 – 10
times. Repeat this procedure every 2 – 3 days and every
time new material is added (Fig. 9).
