I'll make a comment on the size of the bins. When deciding on the size of each bin, one might consider the materials you will be composting. For example, if one expected to use a mix of sawdust and leaves as the 'browns', one might make the dimensions 3' by 3'. If one expected leaves to be the main 'browns', one might select 4' by 4' for bin size. If wood chips were expected to be the main 'brown' (without small filler stuff like sawdust), maybe a 5' by 5' size would be a good choice. My mesh bins are 5' by 8' by 2' high, and can reach 150F or more if the mix is optimal. The reason for the different sizes is due to air movement. Movement thru wood chips is easier than thru sawdust or very finely shredded leaves. The third number, height, can be less than the other two if the compost pile is sitting on the ground, which can also store heat. Since it is easier to turn a low pile, my compost piles have never been more than 2.5 feet high in recent years.

My seed counter that misntroya kindly mentioned is pictured below. It is an antique that I don't use for it's original purpose. The front glass portions are only about 3/4 inch deep and purely decorative. Any items that I have put in so far have been selected for being "bug free or resistant". The peppermint candies are actually Styrofoam wrapped in red and clear paper that I found at the craft store in the wreath making section. The back of the piece has the drawers that are almost as deep as the entire cabinet. The sides and bottom are made of galvanized metal. I store extra paper products, towels and whatnot in the drawers. No flour or sugar! I also freeze my flour when it arrives from the store. It then goes in a tightly sealing, pretty glass jar from Walmart that cost $4! I also remember seeing the inserts that remodelfla shows above, but decided that trying to keep them clean and the flour fresh would be more trouble than they were worth. They do look very cool however!

That is mine! It is one of my favorite things about my kitchen. I ordered it at a place called Custom Inserts where they make it according to your drawer measurements. I don't remember how much it cost, but I know it wasnt cheap because I gave it a lot of thought. I don't know why it would attract bugs any more than any other container for flour or sugar. It doesn't seal like Tupperware, but it closes tightly and is a fully contained item that slides into your drawer. I live in southern California and I've never seen a bug in there. Here's a picture with one side open: Here is a link that might be useful: Custom Inserts

So I picked up these: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20233683/ They might be great for some. I found they fit just fine in an akurum (old version) 15" ikea shallow drawer, though they are meant for the new system. They hold a large amount of flour, sugar or other dry goods, the lid is clear, and I thought I'd be able to pull open the drawer and scoop away, neatly and easily. But the darn lid doesn't close well, and you pretty much have to get the whole bin out of the drawer and fiddle and mash it to get a good seal, which kinda defeats my purpose... Oh well. Back to imperfect counter canisters until I find a better solution. Meanwhile, I put the bins to use with overflow dry goods, not bothering to seal them (which of course means anything open goes in its own sealed bag.)
