"  Composting can be incredibly simple: Just pile up some food and yard scraps, and turn it with a pitchfork now and then. But if you want to speed up the process and keep it rodent-free, a rotating bin is worth a weekend of labor. Once assembled, fill it two-thirds full with scraps, moisten with water and rotate every few days. Step 1 Mark an opening on the side of a food-grade barrel using masking tape. Bore a 3/8-in.-dia. hole at each of its corners and use a jigsaw with a metal-cutting blade to cut out the shape of the door. Clean up the edges of the door and barrel with a file. Step 2 Attach the door to the barrel: Use screws or bolts to fasten metal hinges or make a flap hinge from scraps of bicycle inner tube. Screw a couple of small blocks to the inside of the barrel to keep the door from falling in, and another on the outside to act as a latch. Step 3 Make two X-shaped stands using pressure-treated 2 x 4s or scrap lumber. Fasten the Xs together with bolts, screws or nails that are bent over where they exit. Connect the two X-shaped stands with horizontal lumber, and add diagonal braces to keep them steady. Step 4 Attach a wooden turning lever to the end of the barrel using large sheetmetal screws or a couple of bolts. Rub a bar of soap on the components of the wooden stand that make contact with the barrel to lubricate them. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
