Hi Tyesha. This is an old post of yours but I've just now come across it and acquired 2 55 gallon barrels getting 3 more this weekend. I wanted to the specifics on how you made the DIY Compost Tumbler. I bought a house with just over half acres and want to make part of if an edible garden. My daughter wants me to get into composting. Can you tell me how you create this and how to operate it? What are you putting into your tumbler? Where do you store it?

Wondering if you could elaborate on the 40-gallon recycled food-grade bins... where do you find such a beast? I would imagine that it has to seal tightly (else those tumbles are going to seriously messy). TIA
