Luva--I think it's great! Nice job. My pics are below. I'm kind of proud too!!! Happy gardening

dalton thanks for the pics. I have been talking to my husband about making a bin. When I saw your pallets I knew that was the bin for me. Maybe because I can get the pallets free and it does not look hard to do. Swanz that is a very nice bin my hats off to you. I tried to do that once and my daughter just laughed at the finished product and my family threw it out. Oh well so much for building things.

This is a re-print from another post - "3.14 times the width of the ring will tell you how much fence you need. So 3.14 x 3ft=9.42ft of fence to make a ring 3ft wide. Or 3.14 x 4ft = 12.59ft I would not go any higher than 3ft. You will be surprised just how much you can fit into a 3x3ft bin. Or just make a pile on the ground." You simply place the wire rings on the ground. No posts are required. So you will have a round ring of wire fence with no corners to trap compost material. Wire fence is open so air flows freely. Basically, it just keeps the leaves from blowing around. Plus if you have just piled on the ground, you know the top is tapered, like a pyramid, holding less material. This fills that void. Make as many as you like or when full open up to move and build another pile. The 1st pile will be free standing. If you made tabs to hold wire fence together this is real easy. Not real pretty but not ugly either. If you are worried about pretty make it like Rutger did above. HTH, Gumby_CT

I know it takes a little while for it to start really cooking and that once it does, if I add anything to it, I'm starting all over again, right? Because you won't be able to turn the pile, just fill the bin as you get materials ... keep topping it off with grass clippings, dead leaves and such, keeping a reasonable balance of "wet green" versus "dry un-green" stuff. End with a layer of dried leaves and pack them down in the fall. Let it sit until when you look about 6-8 inches down it's looking like dark crumbly stuff. If you aren't turning it and watering it, it takes longer to compost but it still gets there. By next spring you should have the center core of that bin as a nice finished compost.
