(JP9503991-W)      A composting apparatus (20) is mounted on a chassis supported on two wheels (3, 3a), one of which is swivelably mounted. The chassis supports an engine, gear box, radiator and fuel tank enclosed within a cabinet (1). A second cabinet (10) houses two drums (5, 11) equipped with flails (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b), incorporates a scraper bar (9) and a flexible curtain (14) disposed at the rear. Spray nozzles (15) are connected via a flexible pipe (16) and a quick release coupling (12) to a water tank located on a prime mover (13), which also tows the composting apparatus (20). As the apparatus moves forward, the drums (5, 11) rotate in the same direction, causing the blade shaped flails (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b) to cut and throw the waste material, moving some of it from outer sides towards a middle location, the waste having first been laid out in windrows. By this means, the waste is broken up and aerated, at the same time being sprayed with water.    USE -   For speeding up the composting process.    ADVANTAGE -   Provides a means whereby waste, which has been previously laid out in windrows, is cut, broken up, aerated and sprayed with water simultaneously, saving time and using less water than prior art means.
