How easy is the UCT to turn?
Relatively easy to turn when following some basic guidelines. First, it should not be overloaded with material and adding a lot of water. For ease of turning, it is recommended that the weight be kept under 130 lbs. With the average compost batch of crushed dry leaves and green grass mixed in a 50/50 ratio being less than 100 lbs, the unit turns quite easily. The second important note in turning the UCT is to rock the barrel back and for a couple times before turning — using momentum to help turn it and not trying to just “muscle” it around.
