There is quite a range of different types of compost tumblers to choose from. Probably the most popular tumbler style is the center axle compost tumbler, as it represents a good tradeoff between ease of use vs cost and complexity. Buying one of these is more expensive that a typical bin, but it allows you to regularly turn the pile with a minimum of effort, which is the main reason you want a tumbler to begin with. Our favorite of these is the Urban Compost Tumbler.

I’ve used a variety of compost aerators over the years. Starting with a simple pitchfork in the bin, after moving to a couple of barrel style composters, I found that the pitchfork didn’t really work that well. I used a couple of different styles, starting with the type that has a couple of wings flare out on the side as you pull it out through the compost.
