Aw man nothing to it, there are probably way more complicated ones online but I got a 40 gallon garbage can on the patio going all summer. I use an old shirt or pillow case for the t bag hanging on a piece of PVC across the top. I have notches in the lid so it will sit on top. An aquarium pump running with two stones in it. I use molasses or karo syrup. Cola will work too. You just need some sugar to make the bacteria take off. For a bucket sized batch you can use a couple tablespoons. For my big garbage can I put about a 1/2 cup or so. Like I said it stays going I refresh the water as I use it and change the compost when I think it needs it.
Ill get a couple pics up if you want, I started it up sunday.

Thanks TC! You keep the aquarium pump going all summer? yes.  It can be used after about 24 hours. You know it's "right" when you see that bacteria infested gooey foam on top.  I completely empty and clean it a few times between now and October or so when I take it down.

On a side note, pour it around the base of the plants. If its strong it can burn the leaves.
