Does anyone know if these work, or have plans on how to make one out of a 55 gallon plastic barrel?

Thanks!
 
Some, nothing real great came up, and, I was wondering if someone here has personal experience with it.
 
Yes they work well. Just make sure you have ventilation holes in each end (opposite of where you door will be) covered with harwire cloth, the smallest opening you can get. On the side of the barrel cut a door opening large enough to reach into safely...in that door cut a small opening about 5" x 5" and cover it with hardwire cloth also. Leave that side of the barrel down even after turning. this will drain away any excess moisture while allowing the fresh air in through the ventilation openings which should be at the top farthest from the ground.

Make sense? LOL
