Compost Bin

I got some new wood from my boss to make some new planters, and then I got a bunch of used wood from Craigslist that was a old deck. The wood was still in pretty good shape, the owner took it up and add a new one with a new design and layout. I made the compost bin ad turned the wood around so you see the better wood side on the outside. I think it came out pretty good. And I still have a lot of wood left so I will be building for a long time.

Old Deck




all the wood stacked in my garage before building bin


Close up view


Th back did have a ton of brush an weeds that grew up the shed and all that is gone now and now the new compost bin. Here is the bin as I was making it


Finished, but still need to clean up the ground area but one small step first


Here is the sides up. It is abou 8 feet long, 4 feet tall, and about 4 feet wide.


Front view as I was making it


Angle view with the left side done. I made the front board sit on top of each other so when the compost is turned to dirt/compost then you can remove a board an get to the lower level easier. I got the idea from HGTV and other sites and tv shows like that.
