Drill Bit Compost Aerator

Drill Bit Compost Aerator CROPS New Techniques 21-3-27 "You can drill 48 in. into a compost pile in one second," says Ruth Beckner who in-vented a drill bit designed for compost pile aeration that eliminates the need to continually turn the pile. The 36-in. long steel drill bit, with a 1/2-in. flange on the end, attaches to any conventional 3/8-in. power drill with a key and chuck. By drilling air holes in a yard-size compost pile, you can aerate the material enough to produce odor-free compost in a month, Beckner says. Sells for $19.95 plus $3 S&H (California residents add $1.40 tax). Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Ruth Beckner, 15 Portola Avenue, San Rafael, Calif. 94903 (ph 800 582-6676 or 415 472-4203).
