In this episode of The Urban Homesteaders, Ben builds a compost turner using 100% salvaged materials. Sorry again for the sound… we still are without real video equipment, so we’re using a macbook as our only video recorder.
Stay tuned! We’re building another compost bin this week, and in the next month or so, we’ll be comparing the quality of compost from both!

Unless you can find a drum for free, you’re probably better off just buying a pre-made compost tumbler. A whole setup won’t cost much more than purchasing the drum alone.

Just an FYI When you mix concrete you should add sand and gravel or some kind of aggragate.

It has always baffled my why city folk cement posts in. I’ve build a lot of fence and all all we ever done is tamp the posts in. What do you do when the post breaks or rots off? Now you’ve got a big chunk of concrete to dig out and get rid of.

Okay video, nice idea. Gee, I didn’t realize how “Green” I was. I thought I was just cheap by using what I had at hand. Nothing wrong with being frugal and sensible.

You could do this with an old wine barrel instead, like I did.
