About Us

For over 40 years the ComposTumbler has made it easy for gardeners to have a steady supply of compost. The ComposTumbler is the best-selling drum composter in the world. It even amazes us that we have sold over 250,000 ComposTumblers since we first began.

This amazing gardening product was developed in 1974, by an Australian named Peter Whiteside, who designed the drum to be the perfect shape and size to create fast decomposition of organic materials when turned daily.

Since 1979 the ComposTumbler has been manufactured in the United States and sold from the manufacturing and business headquarters in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. To maintain consistent quality and lowest-possible pricing, the product is sold direct to consumers.

There are now four different models of ComposTumblers. The Compact size was introduced in 1991, the Back Porch size was introduced in 1997, and the ComposTumbler2 was introduced in 2003.
"I love my compost tumbler! It's a dream machine to me! Here in Minnesota I have about 4 and a half to 5 months to make compost and the machine really speeds up the process."
