In this episode of The Urban Homesteaders, Ben builds a compost turner using 100% salvaged materials. Sorry again for the sound... we still are without real video equipment, so we're using a macbook as our only video recorder.
Stay tuned! We're building another compost bin this week, and in the next month or so, we'll be comparing the quality of compost from both!

What is this Dawsons Creek

I bet you won't be using it for very long.
The best compost is made with a compost bin or just a pile.
The aluminum pole won't work it will collapse from the weight eventually.
Running a pole all the way thru will clog when you dump it.
You don't need to use concrete for pressure treated post. Packing the soil around the post with a shovel handle will work just fine, and easy to remove when you don' t want it anymore.
All of the previous post about saving the environment is hog wash.

Nice instructions - most of the ones I've seen were horizontal, how is the vertical design working out for you? Funny to stumble on this, I used to live in the South Wedge myself....

1 min WAY TO LONG FOR AN INTRO

@bigbassmanphd PT wood that's going to remain in the environment anyway. An unused bag of Portland that already has the energy embodied in it already, has to used or allowed to turn into a big rock. the latter wastes the embodied energy. By accident or by design they just may be "greener" than anyone than those who set judgement without evidently thinking through what took place. With exceptions more often than not using what already exists is a good plan

As another mentioned, Portland needs to used with gravel or sand to make concrete, but in this non- critical application no harm done. Don't be surprised if treated or not those posts rot in the concrete. Setting the posts deeper, and tamping gravel around it tightly rather than using concrete lasts longer

It's good that you are embracing the sustainable lifestyle but cement is one the most environmentally unfriendly material there is.
