Tumbleweed Compost Tumbler. Seemed great and assembled
easily. Unfortunately I think some parts were missing because when the contents increased and became weighty, the bin fell off the stand and the rod fell out! Now I’ve got to empty the thing, reallign the center rod and try to locate wing nuts or something to reattach to the stand. Much more than I intended to do. This is actually more difficult than my traditional free standing composters.

Hi Lisa,

That can happen if the nuts aren’t fully tightened when you put the Tumbleweed together. They can work looser, and pop off. We have plenty of spare parts, and we’d be happy to get some out to you.

You can put it back together without emptying the bin. You just flip it so that the legs are up in the air and the bin is on the ground. Then reattach the center rod (with the spare parts, or if you see the nut lying near the composter). Then, just get someone to help lift it back up when you flip the legs back underneath to hold it up again.

Cool products!

I really love my cape cod weeder (http://www.cleanairgardening.com/capecod.html)! Now that spring is in full swing, I’ve been using it like crazy to get my flower beds all cleaned out from the winter.
