DIY Compost Tumbler Bin

I had an idea for a big 55 gallon compost bin at less than half the price of smaller bins...maybe it will work? Spoiler...it's awesome! Not everyone has the tools to build something like this so here's another great option.

Best statment of the whole video "My mom is so proud of me" The smile after was priceless. ❤❤❤

[@roxanamcglinchey6613]

Awesome idea Asa, well done 👍 I'm sure your helping a lot of people who've wanted to do this.. 😊

[@sarahstorr]

This channel is full of helpful hints. Love it ❤

[@hayleyb4861]

I love these types of vlogs, especially exited to see the fish pond expansion

[@peggycuomo1877]

I love the chimes. But I'm not the one trying to think

[@cazb7806]

Love the enthusiasm Asa, and your ideas are so helpful to other budding gardeners too. Blessings.

[@MegSullyMonster]

A note- if the bin doesn’t have holes for oxygen to pass through you may want to consider drilling a few on the side. It’s counterintuitive but compost needs to breathe to successfully decompose and it will actually help it to not smell

[@piamiddione3695]

Those noise Wind Chimes would drive me nuts!!

[@jademccardle9074]

Iv been watching this family from day one there just amazing family and summer ❤❤

[@darceyheath263]

Priscilla I enjoy listening to the wind chimes also😊

[@DrMom468]

Gotta say this was really neat. One comment though - you should be wearing safety glasses doing that stuff! 😉

[@lydiafeagans7186]

Very impressive! I’m so excited! Watching with popcorn to see how things turn out. 😉😎

[@Daisy-Girl0021]

What a neat idea... Those are good to make raised flower beds as well Cut long and put some legs on.. Can spray paint the outside if desired lol

[@ElizabethHernandez-hw6zu]

Had pause.. " I'm not a pole kinda girl" had me in 😂😂😂

[@amyrobles4780]

If you wash the egg shells and let them dry out you can put thwm in the blender and mix it with your oyster shells for the quails calcium.

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

if you can hang a small bucket under because liquid compost it excellent for indoor plants aswell

[@shannonwattie4695]

I like wind chimes but in one of your gardening videos they made this odd sound (kind of a droning hum) and I had to mute the video for a bit, lol. Probably just a me thing, lol. That said, I am grateful for your silencing them in this video :) .

[@nomaddr32]

Asa and Isaiah struggling to get the pipe through the hole when they have a large door they could have opened up to guide it through!😂

[@NickyJohnK219]

You’re an amazing family❤

[@Native935]

Try having neighbors on all 4 sides with big chimes, one of them ties a ribbon around them to stop the noise when it gets too windy, whew !!!

[@sybreedergn1551]

I just had this idea and looked it up to see if there was a video of it.

[@anabel7379]

Best one I've seen yet! Thank you👍

[@brikhouse22]

The drum doesn't look to be completely circular so you did a pretty good job finding center

[@laurissacurts5064]

I enjoy the chimes but if I was in your position I would be way overstimulated. Haha

[@sheric4593]

Well done Asa!!!,

[@Brownbear1414]

Oh Asa I was soo Nervous when Isaiah told you to push that pole through, I thought you was gone get him in the Eye😬😮

[@kif-farmlife]

One suggestion is you might rig up a crank or handle to turn the compost bin

[@alexowen7344]

Gahh lee… those wind chimes, I still hear them in my ears…. I watch all your other videos though….❤

[@lauradougherty8426]

Very educational. I think it might’ve been liquid glucose not glycerin, because glycerin is used to make soap. I don’t think it’s edible.

[@magictfn88]

I was thinking the same exact thing!

[@moremaass]

The barrel was labeled food grade glycerin. Definitely edible but very sweet

[@clairedahl1708]

How well has it been holding up and doing at composting?

[@melinasmith4139]

If you would have used a piano hinge on door, it would help keep the door from warping in the heat. Very good composter.

[@moremaass]

Piano hinge would be a good idea. Plastic drums are made from the same thing they make playgrounds out of. Very UV resistant and they retain their shape in harsh conditions. I think it’s called HDPE. Tough stuff

[@bizzybits1918]

My problem is that the door on mine warped as soon as I cut it out. It has a tighter curve than the drum. No problem with it warping the on the hinge side.

[@anabel7379]

What do you call the metal pieces that the rod went through and can I pickup at my local hardware store?

[@moremaass]

Wall flange for pipe

[@stacylitwin1466]

As someone who knows nothing about gardening or composting, I would have thought some rain getting in the barrel would be good to help with breaking it down into compost; and if there was a ton of water, like too much, then that could just get dumped out of the door

[@catiehays3361]

Is this the modern day version of this old house!! Lol. U can see that you definitely enjoy doing this stuff but I'm sure Cilla jus loves it!! Lol

[@lindapeterson8717]

Awesome, Asa! ❤

[@rebeccamclaughlin4992]

You could have opened the lid to fix the rod lol!

[@leerocha1903]

How tall are your A-frame pieces?

[@AnitaStump]

To brace it on the back , you should cross brace it by that , you should be making an x

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

Just curious, did your hinged lid warp in the sun? Mine did and Im desperately looking for a solution LOL

[@moremaass]

Yes it did but not terribly. The latch I chose does a pretty good job of keeping it in place. I can still tumble the bin without compost falling out. I think you'd have to frame the door with wood or something else that doesn't warp from heat to keep it from happening.

[@mbrad8259]

The chimes are annoying...imagine how your neighbors feel 😂

[@cathylambert9431]

Put a bungee cord around the wind chimes while filming or when it bothers you.

[@sandianaya5141]

Great video

[@catiehays3361]

You schould name all the quail & jus find different color rubber bands or something around there ankles to tell them apart. You could even have ppl send in suggestions 4 names. I think that would be really fun. You'll have 2 keep a color chart 2 keep track of who's who..

[@judypinson6609]

you know what I am proud of you too

[@pass4pets434]

Ya know Asa, the fish are gonna start resenting the birds. Then Sir, you will have a civil war in the backyard. It wont be pretty 😂😂😂😂

[@Jaime2830]

I would love to build a garden but I don't have a private back yard and as for my front yard, I can't even plant flowers, because the squirrels dig them up to bury their nuts.

[@angicatron8512]

Nice job!!!

[@moremaass]

Thanks!

[@caminoalavirtud]

Cool 👍👍👍

[@susanliltz3875]

FYI don’t reach in to taste sugar now , since you dumped the dirt in !!😂 Or that could be a dare for Isaiah!!!

[@barbaraarrington9146]

Rivets work wll too.

[@sallycircle84]

When you stopped the chimes, my brain went ahhhhhhhhh. They are alot. I can understand one, but that many...it's not a great noise!

[@Kimberlyberard75]

[@sarahabbott1386]

I wanna keep watching but my sensory issues are going nuts with your chimes! I’m very sensitive to high pitch noises :( next time could you take them down when trying to film a video outside when you know it’s a windy day? Thanks 😊 ❤

[@biglazza08]

My brain just hears 'glycerin' and 'nitrogen' and was like, I swear that's an explosive. But I guess this wouldn't actually make Nitroglycerin due to all the impurities of everything else in compost. 😋

[@Daisy-Girl0021]

I honestly couldn't concentrate either lol

[@stephaniel1981]

Am i the only one that is wanting to let him know the right side is flipped around 😆

[@DyanLinleyMoore]

I'm proud (still Elf on the shelf even 2.0 is top but maybe nerf gun family war is still epic but...) & jealous as I live in the city in an apartment lol. I grew up on a hobby farm.The horse took over my sandpit. I asked him to move but nope. He was obnoxious. He was a rescue so I didn't care. He was sad when we got him. Isn't it better to make dirt than anything technology? I think so but it seems like you feel that too. Ya need chickens. Just a couple got eggs. Hens can be hand raised to be also pets but I get that goldens make it that duck season thing lol. Sigh. Even animals are different just like ADHD ers and Autistics. Lol. It's a wonder how Noah's Ark actually got by lol. I mean not all get along. It's kind of a food chain thing. Lol. Hi Priscilla you cracked me up. ❤ Isaiah did you try the syrup. I am a dare doer too. The tomboy in me is competitive. Plus I'm Autistic and don't think first. In the moment I'm too excited. Yes I'm an over enthusiastic person. ADHD problems. I try but maybe others need to? It's a philosophical topic that one. I'll go now. Bye Maass Fam ❤❤❤❤ Dy from Australia PS hi Abbie, you are the best. Smart girl. Your prom dress was stunning. Isn't post school stuff better Abbie. I was in special education and it was scary leaving school but jobs are better as it makes sense what we're doing it for. Ask your brother for more coffee. Say you work too lol Brothers must be reminded us girls are boss. Hahahahahaha hey it prepares him for his wife lol jokes. He's the best brother and autistic ever. You deserve it Abbie ❤ Stir him up. It's your job. You do it well. Autistic here. I hope nothing is inappropriate. Sorry in advance. Truly. Just jokes. I'm enjoying the extra projects here. Fun. More people should do this. Self sufficiency is just helps us learn rather than live far from how life really is. What's really important. Like going camping. We all take things for granted.

[@shereewordell2433]

Isiaih I dare you to do the hottest chip changellenge for us, that would be great!

[@OlindaPearson]

You shouldn’t put onions or citrus in a compost

[@saraschutz812]

Interesting! Why is that? I know you’re not supposed to put meat in the compost bin.

[@moremaass]

You can absolutely compost both of them. Onions may deter worms but in a tumbler there are no worms. Both citrus and onions will compost just fine
