I look forward to hearing from you again toward the end of this gardening 
season.  Some posters to rec.gardens in the past (1995-96) were not all 
that satisfied with the ComposTumbler, and it does cost a bundle.

What I don't fully comprehend is why one couldn't make one's own 
compostumbler-type device by putting the materials for decomposition into, 
say, a big plastic trash barrel with tightfitting lid, carving some holes 
in the sidewalls for ventilation, and then rolling it around right on the 
ground periodically to reposition the stuff inside.

Isn't that basically what's happening to the materials inside the official 
ComposTumbler?  Does having the apparatus up on legs make any difference in 
the M.O. really?
