Tumblers are better used for cold composting; they are not a reliable method for hot composting because it is difficultâif not impossibleâto reach and maintain the necessary temperature for killing weed seeds and disease pathogens within the volume available.
Named in honor of James Mendenhall and founded in 1816, Jamestown, NC was the earliest continuing settlement in the Piedmont region. More recently, archeologists have found evidence of nearby human habitation dating back thousands of years.
Jamestown was established by the Virginia Company of London as James Fort on May 4, 1607 (O.S., May 14, 1607 N.S.), and was considered permanent after brief abandonment in 1610. It followed several earlier failed attempts, including the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
