The composter is finished. Next to it you can see my worm composter, which was my first attempt at composting kitchen waste. Someday i'll blog about it, too.
I had the door open downward so it'll stay open when you're loading in material.

Mission accomplished. Looks great.
Are you fixing a handle to it or just rotate by hand?
The drum is not bolted to the rebar, so a handle on the rebar (which i thought about) wouldn't do any good. No, you just have to rotate it by hand. It gets heavy, but the two lips around the rims gives enough of a handle.
That is an awesome project!!! I want one. I think you should manufacture them!
Mike! You've no idea how pertinent these last two posts are for me! I recently went into the Eco-Shop in Greystones to price a 'Big Pig' composter. Janey-mac! I nearly fell over! For the bigger one we'd need I was quoted over €700!!!!!!! My friend Carole has one and says it is amazing, and I'm sure it is but it's also an amazing price. Then a friend suggested we make one, and that we'd find instructions online. I didn't think I wouldn't have far to look!
Thanks so much, for both your instructions and for the link. I'll be sending Jay of to Woodies for supplies at the weekend!
You're a legend!
€700!!! Why am I not surprised. Finding a barrel in Ireland will be hard, but call around and you might get lucky. We used loads of them in Schering-Plough and Oriflame but I believe they were returned for reuse. Maybe you can buy something.
