I have always wanted to purchase a compost tumbler, but felt that they were a costly, frivolous purchase. Not being very mechanically minded, I could never figure out how to build my own either, but after visiting How-to Homestead I think this would be an easy enough project that I might be able to complete myself. Finding a large food grade barrel may be an issue, but I already have the remaining supplies.

I compost myself since I am overrun with chicken poo. My set up is a little different because I wanted the chickens to have access to do the tossing and turning for me. We started about six months ago and have already utilized some of the rich soil for potting plants.
