It's a compost tumbler that Mariko got at Costco. Was a hassle to assemble, but I think it will work pretty nicely.
Marni Thompson (R), NRCS soil health specialist, Digs to observe soil strucutre and crop roots and uses a brix meter to test the level of sugar in green growing crops where compost extract was applied in the field to help get a relative idea of the health of the soil and crop. Larry Johnson, Shawn Preputin (C), and Alec McIntosh (L), farmers, create compost extract that is applied to their crop fields to bolster soil microbes and improve soil health.

A droite, les déchets verts de l'année dernière et de ce début de printemps. A gauche, le compost mûre de la saison précedente. Ce compost va être épandu dans le jardin et le bac de droite va prendre sa place.
Time to harvest. Wonder Worman’s Super Composting Red Wigglers were busy of the summer - and it’s time to gather up the compost.
This is the way I pile up the medium on one side of the bin. It balances the environment in more ways than one.
Most important, it weights the contents to one side of the tipped bin so the operation doesn't collapse.
But the piled up medium also provides extra oxygen for the worms, good drainage, and an opportunity for yours truly to play in the muck.

Under the toilet seat is a bucket...do what you need to do, cover with sawdust, then thank the Compost Crew for taking the buckets away to the compost pile! Beware the giant ants at night... and baby rattlers. Sweet's mill 2008
My all scrap wood compost bins. The original on the left and the new one on the right. I should add two more boards to the new one but I'm out of scrap lumber! The sizes are generous 50" by 60" deep.
...over to the new location the bin will be moved to. I take off the top tier, set it next to the current location and move over the cover leaves. Now they will be on the bottom after the turning. This helps to absorb moisture and aids in their eventual composting.
It also creates a slight barrier with the ground so that my worms don't start burrowing into the base soil. I also use a landscape barrier to put the bins on to prevent this as well. Otherwise I eventually end up with a little "pit" where the bins are located and I dig up some of the dirt and the worms make nests that loosen the soil. All good things, just not what I want in my bin area.
Composting shed at Inverleith Terrace, Edinburgh. Project recently won the Chairmans prize at the Scottish Design Awards and the photos have been all over the internet as a result.
You can get all fancy with layering different types of green waste (grass clippings, vegie scraps) and brown waste (newspaper, prunings), but we just chuck it all in and it works out eventually :)
Since starting the compost bin, we barely fill our kitchen bin each week, which really reduces our contribution to landfill.
Comune di Brescia e A2A Ambiente hanno presentato la campagna di distribuzione gratuita dei sacchi di compost, prezioso fertilizzante, realizzati grazie alla raccolta differenziata del verde.

things wrong with the world on leaves put into compost to be recycled to become nutrients for growing something new.
Two screen doors plus two window screens found in the basement, and you can guess the rest. Intended this as a temporary bin, though have been using it the past several months.
Seems better than digging holes and burying the stuff. Being able to compost just about every bit of unused food scraps is yet another benefit of eating vegan. Bags, paper, cardboard, plastic, and glass gets recycled. So set near the curb a container of landfill-bound trash only about once every 2 or 3 months, if that.
