Tumbling Composter

Weekend Project #461:

Create a tumbling composter.

For this project, I found a seller on Craigslist that had old food drums available. This was going to be perfect for the composter. The only thing I purchased was the piping material.

The central tube is lined with air holes and is open along at the bottom to allow for proper aeration of the composting matter. the tube stays in place with a cross beam (also covered in pvc tubing).

We've been using it for a while now...must remember to make compostables a bit smaller so they decompose more quickly...as this can become difficult to rotate if it's too full.
