Home-made Compost Tumbler

[Czechin_it_out]

Anyone have any ideas on how to make a compost tumbler? I use giant PVC pipes that are about 24" in diameter, and then have piles depending on how quickly things break down. My biggest problem is that I can't always get water to the piles and I work, so sometimes I am so tired...and forget. My piles wouldn't get hot if I lit them on fire!!

Old fashioned doesn't work here or i'm not doing it right. I think the tumblers would be a better option for me, but I don't have $99 for the cheapest one I've seen.

I know of a place just down the road where you can get steel barrels really cheap.

That would be great. I work off Palomar Airport, so that would be awesome! Thank you so much.
