Drilling holes in compost barrel
The holes should be about one inch on the sides and the bottom You cannot
drill too many of them!

I have two barrels I got from my local Saturn dealer. They had car
washing solution in them, are of the 55 gallon size and are opaque
white plastic.
I want to use at least one for a compost barrel after a thorough
rinsing,. I have the hardware to install a hinged lid and will roll it
around every few days to mix the contents.
The one thing I am not clear on is where and how many holes to drill.
The advice I have read says to drill holes but I have not seen the
deatails. Specifically:
(1) Where? Top and bottom? The sides or both?
(2) What size holes?
(3) How many?
Any feeedback will help me get this up and running this weekend.
