Mantis Compost Twin Review: How Many Of You Saw This Coming?

Today in the "did you see this coming" edition we came across a double bin composter that is set to blaze a new trail in the green practices of most people. Seen as composting revolutionized, this central design of the Mantis Compost Twin review sets us in a huge wave of excitement on the composting method of the future.

Currently available in the market, many folks who practice sustainability adapting the Green lifestyle all over the world -- from country settings to urban areas -- already have a compost twin tucked in the yard, composting all year round.

For these early adapters, the double chamber rotating composter is nothing short of amazing. A modification that is easy and simple yet very effective, efficient, so obvious that you'd want to beat yourself in the head and say why didn't I ever thought of that?

Now that it is actually available and Mantis is making it, don't beat yourself up twice.

Design and Features

Here's a glimpse of the features straight off the Mantis Compost Twin review site:

* Two 10-bushel capacity bins continue the process of composting the next batch without the wait.
* 65" wide x 66" high x 41" deep.
* Aerator vents on each bin to allow much needed into the mix for sure decomposition.
* Perfect height -- 32 inches above the ground -- for easy loading and unloading.
* Durable tubular frame, galvanized metal drum for years of use.
* Vented end caps for even air flow and drainage of excess moisture.
* Interior "fins" mixes the compost material inside when bins are rotated.
* Easy to turn handle and gear system for zero back-break turning.

Country and city folks who are very deliberate about their part in protecting the environment pick up composting when disposing household organic wastes. Aside from helping minimize your town's garbage, you will be earning black gold -- the most powerful fertilizer called humus. You can then use this fertilizer in your veggie plot, potted plants, small to large scale farms, or even sell them as organic fertilizers.

There is a huge potential and a big ROI to recycling organic waste such as kitchen scraps, fruits and vegetable peelings, dead leaves in the garden and so much more -- through nature's way of composting!

The process is not even dirty and messy. If you are worried about the smell of rotting materials and dung, then your idea of composting dates back to ancient times (with a slight exaggeration here). Composting is very well-kept and systematic nowadays you won't even need to dig compost pits or maintain compost heaps!

Turning bins are the trend. The Mantis Compost Twin takes it one step further by having two bins in a single setup so you need not wait for a batch to turn to compost before starting a new batch with your kitchen scraps or yard wastes. They are made of waterproof materials, are well-designed so that rodents can't get to them and cause a complete mess, and you can be sure no offensive rotting smells will waft off to your neighbor's patio.

Mantis Compost Twin Review: Dawn of the New Breed Composter

Ready to revolutionize your composting??

Information garnered from reading a Mantis Compost Twin review gave me an impression a lot of people actively pursue a green lifestyle by composting their household organic wastes are doing it the way it was never done before -- replacing compost heaps with compost bins. If you don't count yourself as an early adapter, and decide instead to wait and see, I hope this article will propel a major call to action on your part.

The conventional way of composting via compost heaps is now becoming unnecessary and more of an inconvenience. This will only work if you have a big amount of time at your disposal. Even so, why would you forego other facets of your by spending time turning the compost heap? Think about it: A compost bin is neater, less labor intensive and cooks up humus faster that a compost heap.

Do you have a small scale farm or a vegetable garden plot but you don't live in the country? Cool! Compost bins or tumblers will provide an excellent humus turnout in a less than a month and save you fertilizer costs while eliminating household organic waste without the trouble of unsightly pits, rats' rotting utopias, constant turning, and foul-smells escaping which can quickly turn you into a village villain. It is not a space hugger at all, and won't cost you so much of your time.

Talk about living the green lifestyle and doing it well! It will even encourage your neighbors to follow suit!

Smarts in the Works

With all the buzz about compost bins and covered tumblers, we're pretty sure you already have an idea how they work and what they look like. An emerging trend off an innovation by Mantis is the twin tumbler composter. Yes, you guessed it right! A composter with not one, but two compost bins.
The main advantage of a double compost bin design composter is that it allows for more convenience and zero percent waste loss. Because it's got two bins, you can cook one batch of compost in one bin while holding a fresh batch of kitchen scraps and yard wastes in the other bin. Thus you are able to compost new organic wastes! A sure time-saver? Most definitely. No more playing the waiting game.

Its spinning action accelerates the decomposition process while ensuring sufficient aeration for the organic wastes to properly break down into an excellent fertilizer fast. The whole setup is covered safe from rain and pests, with no rotting odors escaping. Rain or shine, your compost will be alright.

Another perk is its ease of assembly. Whether you are a handy man or a regular guy, you wouldn't find assembling the Mantis Compost Twin a backbreaking feat. Some small drawbacks noted by other users include the door design and paint flaking off in some areas. However, looking at the big picture, user satisfaction is clearly ramping up mostly because of its ease of use and its overall design. Most wheelbarrows can be rolled directly under the tumbler doors for easy finished compost collection.
