Compost in 14-21 Days & How to Make A Tumbler Bin Composter (Youtube)

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqfmJKby234 The music in this video makes it worth watching alone, let alone the great footage showing the design of the tumbler. Super nice work here. 14-21 days is pretty awesome if you can pull it off, but don't get upset if it takes longer. Really though, who cares if it takes a week longer? Are you really that hard pressed to have your compost finished in record time? Back to the point, this video rules. Make the time to work on this project and it'll be well worth it.

If you were going to get this one, I would look for the newer version. Either way, go Dave. Nice work on the video!
