<p>A compost-making apparatus comprises a hollow container 10 rotatably supported on a transverse shaft 12 which is carried on opposite side members of a demountable frame 14. The container has (a) uppermost a filler opening 30 for admitting and emptying a charge of compost materials, and a closure member 40, (b) in its base, drainage holes 34, and (c) in its side wall, aeration holes 36. Compost is produced in said apparatus by placing a charge of compost materials in the container, adding an activating material, moistening the container contents with water, sealing the filler opening, and tumbling the container contents by rotating the container, for example, at least three times, and repeating the tumbling at least three times per day, for some two weeks. <IMAGE></p> |
