This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Waste Streams.

Compost is a wonderful thing to have as a gardener. Let's build a compost tumbler to make hot compost faster!

 
 

Here's one way to do it.  


Minimum requirements:
  - Make a compost tumbler
  - At least 50 gallons in size
  - Includes a way to empty it fully without lifting contents out the top
  - No plywood, treated or man-made wood products

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Most of the parts you're starting with
  - Midway through construction
  - Finished tumbler
  - Show that it's at least 50 gallons in volume
 
It would give a normal human mental abilities to rival mine. To think it is just a tiny ad:
