How To Build A Compost Bin in 7 Steps
Compost is a form of homemade fertilizer that is made from leaves, weeds, straw and leftover kitchen materials. In order to build a compost bin to keep these things in you will need to take the following steps:
1.Decide upon what height and width you want your compost bin to be.
2.Purchase 4 wooden pallets, 4 bolt latches and.36 screws or bailing wire.
3.Use a saw to cut your wooden pallets to be 36 inches high and 25 inches wide.
4.Screw together 3 of your wooden pallets. You will want to make sure that the screws are inserted at equal distances apart in order to support the pallets. If you choose to use the wire instead of the screws, then you are going to want to tie it three times in order to make sure that it is strong enough to support the pallets.
5.Screw the fourth pallet tightly to the exact oppositee of the back pallet.
6.Fasten the bolt latches onto your fourth pallet to form your front door for your compost bin.
7.If you would like to make a two-sided compost bin, then simply add 2 more pallets.
Your compost bin is now ready for use. It is a good idea to place a plastic lining on the 3 sides of your compost bin, especially if you happen to be living in a dry climate. This will help your compost pile remain moist. Once you have your lining in place, you can begin filling up your compost pile.
