Compost Bin Recommendations Needed
Isn't that the truth! I still use mine to make a mix of several
different composts to create a product for making aerobic compost tea. I some times add some fungal foods to get the mycelium actively growing. In other words it's a high priced mixer that could be replaced with a $20USD recycled plastic barrel. You can also get high-quality plastic barrels for free, if you know where to look. Specifically, ask around at dialysis centers. They buy dialysate in medical-grade plastic barrels of roughly 50 gallon capacity. It costs more to clean them to medical specs than to make a new one, so many dialyssis centers are willing to give them away for free, to avoid having to throw them in the garbage. They'll smell of vinegar (I believe that acetic acid, aka vinegar, is one of the primary ingredients in dialysate), but the dialysate doesn't have anything toxic. Rinse them out, let the vinegar smell air out, and you're good to go. steve |
