I finally finished the turnable composter I made from an old, food-grade, plastic barrel for our garden at the shop. All of the wood and wheels and parts I found at the shop so the total cost for this project was effectively zero. The turn handle has gone through two different versions but might need a third version. Now that it has been filled with super heavy, wet dirt and compost the weaknesses of the turn handle are clearly visible. Feel free to give me some ideas for a better turn handle to turn the barrel over while filled with heavy dirt.
