Two Compost Bins
Compost piles are ever-changing. One week you add
some material; the next week you remove even more
to fertilize your garden. This simple bin can handle
those changing demands. Just add a level of side
planks when the pile grows, and take them down
when it shrinks. Or better still, have a small bin for
compost that’s just starting out and a large one next
to it for compost that’s ready for use.Bin grows with the pile
It’s no fun sifting through compost
to remove matter that is not
completely decomposed before you
can use the good stuff. That’s not a
problem with this bin. Compost falls
onto an angled screen, which you
tap with a shovel, causing the clean
material to fall through. Everything
else stays on top, making it easy to
collect and put back into the bin.hassle-free
