Building a Compost Tumbler

You can build a compost tumbler to make compost at home.  All you need is a large food grade drum some plumbing parts and a wood frame.  You can get your drum from a restaurant or a restaurant supply company.  I got mine from a friend who works with restaurants. 
Drill a large hole in the bottom of the drum insert a 3" pipe with holes in the side of the pipe for aeration.  Insert an axel through the drum for turning the composter.  For more instruction you can search youtube.com for building a compost tumbler.  There a lot of designs and you can have fun with yours.  I you need more help you can email me at stevenlauder@hotmail.com
