I found this cool composting video that involves using a khamba, or series of 3 terracotta pots that you rotate as they’re filled up with material.  This reminds me of a stacking tray vermicomposting system, but for composting.

They look beautiful, too!  If I had this on my balcony, no one would know what they were for, unlike my kitty litter buckets.

One interesting tidbit in there was when buttermilk was mentioned as a source of microorganisms to get a fresh compost pile activated…I’ll have to try that one!

I think this looks like a project that could be easily taken with 3 5 gallon buckets and lids:  Fasten the lids on two of the buckets, cut out the lid except for the outer 2 inches or so, and leave the top lid untouched.  Drill holes around the sides for some airflow, and there you have it!
