Anyone try one of those rotating compost drums?

5. No, but I use a black plastic trash barrel on

wheels and with a tight lid. I drilled about 60 holes or so in the barrel with a 5/8” bit. It’s worked great. I actually have two of them. The nice thing is I can tip the barrel on its side and roll it back and forth to mix the compost every 2 or 3 weeks until it gets a little over half full. After that I use a garden pitch fork to mix the upper layers. Overall, it works great and it only costs me about $20 for each barrel (I get them at my local Ace Hardware store). I store them right outside the back door — no odors, no critter issues and easy access. Stuff composts very quickly— a layer of greens, a layer of browns, keep it moist and mix every so often.
