I am looking to start composting and I would like to get a cheap but decent composter (I do not want a pile of stuff in the yard ;) that rotates. Is there any such beasty?

Any suggestions are welcome, thanks.

WE made our own. A plastic pickle barrel that had a split in it so was free. DH made a couple of A frames out of leftover wood. Drilled a hole through the middle of the barrel. Used some leftover PVC pipe, put it across the A's. ran some copper pipe throught this and through the barrel. Presto, a rotating composter. Only drawback - it is real heavy when 3/4 full. But it makes compost quick!
