Affixing to a stand with a crank or assembling a free-standing container is the way to build a compost barrel. The barrel must have openings in the bottom, sides and top if it is free-standing, to allow for proper aeration and drainage. It needs to have a crank and a stand if it is a tumbler, to allow for turning the entire barrel in place to achieve the same above-mentioned results.

Why do gardeners often build compost heaps on a pile of loose fitting sticks or bricks?
Circulation, drainage, ease, security and support are reasons why gardeners build compost heaps on a pile of loose-fitting bricks or sticks. The raised level makes it easier for gardeners to add to or to turn or water compost piles and more difficult for foraging wildlife to access compost heap contents. It permits drainage of excess liquids, rainfall and waterings and provides structure and support for the unconfined, unsheltered pile.
