My DIY Compost Tumbler

[Gilcano]

Hi every one I want to share my DIY compost tumbler I made. I would like to try it this year. I hope I'll learn a lot from this Forum.
Thanks

I like it! I would add another flange to the other end like you have at the handle side tho. That hole will get out of round eventually, allowing the little critters in to hunker down in that nice warm environment.

Nice job! Do these actually work, I've seen them advertised but always wondered if they really compost materials that much faster. And do they hold enough to make it worth it? Do they compost fast enough that you don't overfill it? Or do you need more than one?

Thanks, yes I added another flange to that side and another brace to the legs, those pictures are a bit old but here are the new pictures

Looks good! I was thinking about starting a pile, but I don't know where I'd start it. Maybe I'll so these pictures to Dan and see what he can do to build me a tumbler.
