THe barrel sits on its side in a little frame that makes it easy to turn. The only downside is that you have to set it upright to put more stuff in it. watch your back! It's easy to keep moist, and turning it ever couple of days gets the air in to help our little microbe friends do their jobs. Re: building bins: You can often get shipping pallets for free Years ago, I made a series of 3 bins as you recommended out of pallets held together with twisted wire and L-braces from the hardware store. Wasn't pretty, but what the heck? Nice piece on composting, and the one on blight was good, if scarier!
