Tumbling Compost Bin

Source a clean barrel or a large plastic bucket (that hasn’t contained poisons)
Make a simple timber frame using off cuts of timber
Paint if the timber is not treated for longer life
Place the barrel on top of the timber frame using a piece of piping (Photo 1) or secure the bucket with a cross pipe (Photo 2)
Drill holes in cross bar/plastic pipe for aeration, if making a bucket composting bin (Photo 2)
Put all your food scraps into the barrel or bucket daily and also mix in garden waste, torn up paper, leaves and/or cardboard.
Turn tumbling compost bin regularly which will accelerate the decomposition process.
When the compost is ready empty and dig into your garden
