A plurality of composting sections are arranged in a row along and at opposite sides of the horizontal bar. The composting operation is performed for the plurality of sections according to a predetermined schedule so that, when the apparatus is under operation, four sections are simultaneously under operation, one of the four sections may be receiving material and three sections are simultaneously under agitation by the paddles and at the other section or sections the material may be taken away.
