The Miracle-Gro Small Composter produces ready-to-use compost in just four to six weeks, unlike DIY cold compost bins that can take up to one year to decompose waste. It’s equipped with an internal aeration system, mixing bars to speed up decomposition, and a tight seal that keeps pests from slipping into your precious pile. It also traps heat and moisture to ensure proper decomposition, and you only have to spin the tumbler about once a week to mix the material. The single-chamber compost bin holds nearly 28 gallons of waste, making it a good size for small patios, porches, balconies, and backyard spaces. The BPA-free, food-grade, and UV-resistant plastic supports year-round composting, no matter the climate—just note that composting may slow down in cold temperatures or speed up in hot temperatures. Bonus: It even comes with a complementary pair of waterproof gardening gloves to make handling your compost easier. “I’ve had it less than two months, and I’m already seeing a great breakdown of the materials into soil,” one reviewer said. And another customer wrote that the small composter is “perfect” for their small apartment garden.
