That's a very cool setup. Having two bins would be great; one for adding the newer stuff, and one that can be left for finishing.

To help with your question:


Based on what I've seen, the posting of websites in ATP is discretionary. If someone asks for a link, it's probably okay to post it. If ever I'm unsure about posting one that another member has asked to see, I'll send it to them in a personal mail (tree-mail). (One reason to keep outside links to a minimum would be to reduce the amount of dead links found here in the future. )

My biggest question about your composting system is, are all the fastenings, including the turn cranks, attached with screws? If so, it looks like we might be able to build our own.

Thanks for the welcome. As you follow me and my pictures you will find DH is an Overkiller and used nuts and bolts on everything wood and then some! And I mean that in the most kindest way! See that silver dealy on the side of the barrel? It is some sort of plumbing nipple, it helps hold on the pre cut/threaded pipes we used as a crank. Add a few elbows and you have a crank. Oh yes, he also covered the pipe with pvc for comfort as the pipe can get hot. All that was his invention---sorta, actually it was my idea he just figured it out the parts. The throw locks and door latches and hinges also nut-bolted on. He used a drill a lot but i can't recall what he used to cut out the door piece?

OK as far as the site, look for it in Instructables.

I always wanted to compost but never liked the open bin technique nor did we have the room for it. One barrel wasn't enough and as I said, two barely covers it but takes up little space. Plus I think it looks cool, don't you?
