That’s the way I have done it in the past. Trouble is, fresh compost on top and no way to get the good stuff on the bottom without turning. Then I get the new mixed up with the old. Then I tried several compost piles at once.
Our farming neighbors had a 55-gal. drum with a door in the side, a pipe through the top and bottom, and resting on risers. The pipe had two 90 degree angles to make a crank handle. Add kitchen waste and soil into the door, latch it, give it a turn or two, and when it is ready, you put the wheelbarrow under the door, open it, and dump out as much as you need.
