Spring is here, and if your TikTok FYP is anything like ours, you’re being inundated with gardening videos that have you super excited to start your own outdoor project. But there’s one key element that every dedicated gardener seems to use: compost. Luckily, unlike some other gardening essentials, you can actually make compost yourself. And believe it or not, when we saw a sneak peek of Aldi‘s April finds, we noticed that they’re selling a super-affordable tumbling composter.

Tumbling composters make the process of composting easier. In traditional composting, you might have several different piles of deteriorating organic material in your yard that need to be turned and shoveled or pitchforked several times a week. The result is still nutrient rich compost, which helps build healthy soil and lets plants grow to their full potential, but all of that shoveling and pitching is hard work.
With a tumbling composter, you add your produce scraps and yard clippings (and even brown paper bags, newspaper scraps, and egg shells), then easily rotate the barrel a couple of times a week. This adds oxygen to the mix, which helps with the breakdown of materials inside the barrel.

This tumbling composter has two chambers, so you always have some compost on hand that’s ready to be used. This tumbling composter is on sale for 19% off, making it just $80.90. It’s a little more expensive than Aldi’s version, but it has two chambers, and you can order it even if you don’t live near an Aldi.
