How To Make a Backyard Compost Tumbler
If you are looking for plans for how to make your own backyard compost tumbler without spending a lot of money, check out this video that was posted on YouTube.com. It’s not as small as the Envirocycle Compost Tumbler, but not much larger than the pickle barrel that is used to make it and if you can get someone to paint something clever or attractive on the barrel, it would probably add an element of interest to your backyard. If you find more than one pickle barrel, you can use the second one as a rain barrel! Often you can find barrels for around $10 from drum and barrel suppliers.

I was very impressed with your video on how to build a compost tumbler. If I can find something like the pickle barrel here in Morocco I will definitely build one. Thank you so much!
