Always thought it would be pretty awesome to have a massive compost bin that could flip from side to side via pedal power. It would be easier to let air in, and make it so that it composted by aerobic bacteria instead of anaerobic, which results in a much fast composting process(and higher temperatures).
- fian 7y agoDo you mean a compost tumbler? Something like: https://www.gardeners.com/buy/extra-large-compost-tumbler/36-662.html https://www.gardeners.com/buy/extra-large-compost-tumbler/36... These are easy enough to hand crank and you don't need to tumble them a great deal each time. Maybe if you had a hobby farm and many such tumblers, adding some sort of pedal drive you could temporarily attach to each tumbler might make sense.
