Using materials and bicycle parts all found in the garbage, we have built a pedal-powered compost turner. Composting is perhaps the best way to reduce household waste. While harnessing the mechanical power of the pedals and cranks, a person is able to turn up to 500 pounds of compost with minimal effort using this pedal powered compost turner.

Nice going!! I helped make a pedal powered drill press years ago and built a recumbent frame with it. I’m now making a pedal powered rolling stage with 3 “cars”-7 person power, 32 ft long.

That’s a huge compost bin. You guys must eat well! Love the shot of the gear reduction system. I also like how the frame floats about 4 feet about the ground, kind of like a tall bike. Funny ending too. Nice submission!

This is very interesting. I have a compost area in my back yard, but I never use it because I don’t know how or when to properly turn it.
