Last year, I showed you how to build a homemade composter out of a simple trash can. After using my easy DIY composter for a year, I share what I learned about making compost at home as well as the changes I'd make to the composting system. This video will teach you how you make unlimited compost fast in a $20 trash can. Making compost in a compost pile can take a long time, and a compost pile can be overtaken by weeds and pests and look unsightly. Compost tumblers work better, but they can be too small and very expensive. This $20 trash can works just as well as the expensive tumblers without the high cost! This DIY composting method makes compost faster by 200%, prevents weeds and pests, and is hidden from view. Best of all, the homemade composter can be made in 10 minutes! This composter turns kitchen scraps into beautiful homemade compost for your garden!
