A rotating barrel composter can be made from a large drum with aeration holes punched in it, and fins inside to lift and mix the compost materials. A hinged loading door in the side allows wastes to be added gradually. Some are rolled on the ground to mix the contents; others are mounted horizontally on stands with crank attachments. 2, record 1, English, - rotating%20composter

Un composteur rotatif peut être fabriqué à partir d'un gros baril muni de trous d'aération et d'ailerons intérieurs servant à soulever et à mélanger les matériaux de compostage. Une porte à charnières sur le côté permet d'ajouter les déchets progressivement. Certains barils sont roulés sur le sol pour en mélanger le contenu; d'autres sont montés debout sur une plate-forme munie d'un système de manivelles. 1, record 1, French, - composteur%20rotatif
