ABSTRACT:
A cylindrical bit is made from an elongated shaft with a spiral blunt pointed cutting element secured to one end by welding or molding. The upper end of the shaft is held in the chuck of a hand-held drill. The drill, battery or mains powered, rotates the shaft. The rotating shaft is repeatedly plunged into the compost mixture to add air and air holes to improve biological decomposition and conversion of organic material into a humus-like mixture (compost).
