I'm asking because my partner isn't sold on the idea of spending much money to start this, with all the other things we need.

My husband is working on a three composter set for me when time permits and I would say by the time you pay for all the misc stuff to build it you may as well have just bought one and had it shipped to you. I will post pics when it is all done. He is using 55 gallon blue barrels that had been full of soy sauce. I don't know when he will be finished because he is very busy and just does some small bits at a time. It should only take about 3 hours total to build one* if you have the time and parts to do it.
Take a look at DIY composter instructions online for ideas.
*Build one-meaning one 55 gallon barrel composter-not three of them.
