Description

Same great spiral, same working length as our original tool, different handle. The Compost Crank® Twist works well in any bin. The corkscrew design easily digs into any sort of compost, whether it’s light leaves or dense sticks and vines. Twist in clockwise with one or two hands, and lift straight up without turning to pull compost up from the bottom, thoroughly mixing and aerating your bin. No jabbing, pushing, or prying necessary. Built to last for as long as you compost, the Twist will be there ready to mix your pile whenever you are.

Past Reviews

“Yippeee!!! I just received my compost crank. After 3 failed turners over a decade or so, I am overjoyed to find a product that is perfectly engineered and a delight to use. How great to turn up those neglected corners and find dark, soft, perfect humus! I am singing your praises and will share this with our local garden stores (each of which offered me a pitchfork when I asked for a compost turner) and my fellow vegetarians. Thank you for quality and ingenuity!” - S. Leviton

“This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I was poking around and kept seeing the compost aerators with those wings that pop out. I didn’t love the design (seemed just asking to break) but didn’t know there was an alternative. I am SO GLAD that I found this! It is easy to use, very sturdy, and has no parts that can break. Absolutely ingenious. And the company seems very cool (made in the U.S. on recycled machinery). This does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and my compost is as happy as can be. The only shame is that this is not the go-to compost aerator for everyone. It should be!!” - C. Joy

Fun and easy to use

When I saw one of these compost cranks at my son's house, I hinted it would be a good gift. He sent one a month later for Mother's Day. Wow! This two handled crank is fun and easy to use, even for this senior citizen. I rarely turned my compost before because it was too hard to get the pitchfork into the cubic yard compost cage plus difficult to lift a heavy load. Now I give the compost a few plunges every time I add to it.

Perfect!

Recently switched from a compost tumbler to an upright bin and have been struggling with turning and aerating the contents...I "googled" and uncovered the last one in stock at Native Seeds...picked it up yesterday and have been "playing" with it since...the perfect ending to my frustration with my new bin...great product!
