How to Build a Compost Bin out of Pallets

2/26/2015

It is incredibly easy to build a compost bin out used pallets.  This is one pallet project that won't require you to disassemble them, which is a frustratingly impossible task.  My compost bin is made of three pallets and an old piece of sheet metal.  Simply wire your pallets together, drive poles into the corners to hold it in place, and top it off with a board or piece of sheet metal to create a handy garden storage area.  You can also add slats to the front to make it look custom-made if you want to go the extra mile.  However, the slats should be removable so that you can shovel it out when it's done "cooking."

Once you've built it, here's some handy tips for composting: http://www.howtocompost.org/info/info_Top-10-Composting-Tips.asp

Banana peels, egg shells, and coffee grounds are high in vital nutrients and will help you create amazing compost for your garden.

Ortho's All about Greenhouses - by Michael McKinley offers basic information and principles. The pictures are excellent, and it is a good place to start for the basics. As much as there is involved in learning about greenhouses this is a good start.
