Is that happening because you are using horsemanuer as opposed to like grass clippings? I tried to compost last year with just some grass clippings and leaves, but it didn't workout. I didn't dig a hole or have anyway to trap the heat. Also, are you using worms in with this compost tumbler? I didn’t realize that they materials would breakdown so quickly.

No starter added to the first batch, just let the bugs in the grass clippings and the horse manure do the job! The second batch has a 10 liter bucket of the old compost to get it going. The horse manure has a very high nitrogen content which is needed to break down all the high carbon (brown) materials. Daniel – The tumbler is great!

Did you add starter, or just rely on naturally-occurring bacteria to get the job done? There must be a significant advantage to be able to start with horse manure in the mix, yes?
