Overview

I took a food grade plastic barrel we had on the shelf forever and some scrap wood and leftover cart wheels and made a turnable composter. Now we will have some of the greatest compost for our garden this year!

I put some small bicycle wheels on it so we can move it through grass and dirt when it's full of heavy compost. I cut apart the old copper shower piping from the last shop and made a turning handle out of it. It has a rope handle to pick up and move it around the garden.
