Made a Compost Bin

Category: Pianolady's Gardens | Posted: Sun Jul 14, 2013 8:03 pm

Needed a compost bin for years, just never got around to doing it. Used 4 pallets, which were all broken in some way (which is why they were free), and made them work using L brackets and screws to make them go together. The 4th pallet was broken to the point I had to cut it in half and use it as a half door, which I attached with wire. Lined the inside with window screen and started my pile. I guess this is my "ugly" corner, but it's gotta go somewhere and it's not too noticeable in the grand scheme of things.

Composting areas may not be the most attractive but when you get your first load of black gold you'll be so glad you have one. We have three large, black composting bins that we keep hidden behind a six foot fence panel and I wouldn't be without them even if they were in full view.
