Used your video to build my own this weekend! Pretty much identical to yours. Thanks for this!

[DancerMandy]

Thank you so much! I just made a small one for my garden out of old fence palings and it looks fab. I followed your instructions - so easy with your guidance thanks :)

[monicam]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial!!! This is exactly what was looking for. I started working on my compost bin following your instructions, looking good, so far. Blessings from Lima, Peru

[rgavey]

Great idea! I have the materials just hoping there’s a lid update soon

[StopMoMama]

Great instructions ... I stained mine and it looks really good 👍 Please post lid instructions soon! We get snow here in October 🥶 Thank you!

[joshuab]

I really like it. Great idea. I’m going to make something today. Will use some of your ideas to fit my space. Thanks for posting.

Nice job! I'm going to steal this idea, with a slight modification. I think I'll make the bins just under 5 feet wide, so I can fit my small tractor's 54" loader bucket in there. That should make turning and moving the compost a lot easier.

Are you still happy with the way you built the fronts of the bins, with loose boards held in by slats? I was thinking of putting swinging doors on mine, but your approach is a lot simpler and probably cheaper.

This video is great! Thanks for sharing. I have been looking for an easy system I can build and that looks great. I am going to follow your plan. 👍

That's a nice, neat job! I'm a retired general contractor and woodworker, and that's right purdy! A suggestion if I may? Keep all sides solid. It will help to hold the heat in and cook more evenly and closer to the edges. But again, nice job!

If you have ever take gardening seriously & plan doing it every year, a Composting should be your number 1 thing to do for your garden. I started out with an open compost pile using 4 railroad ties 6ft long & 3 fencing post 4ft high. Threw all my kitchen garbage in it & had a friend who would get me sawdust free of oils. I would put leaves, grass cuttings, straw, small twigs along with all my kitchen garbage. My kitchen garbage would consist of lettuce, cabbage, carrot, celery, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, beets, pepper, cucumber, rinds from melons, peelings from oranges, apples, pears, old grapes, bananas, egg shells, old cereals cheerios, wheaties, corn flakes, old stale bread & all other fruits. Newspapers, cardboards, egg cartons & old rags of cotton material. Believe me America has garbage worth money made into free enriched vitamins, minerals that make thing grow & nourish on. All this makes free enriched dirt for just about anything to grow. I made only a few mistakes throwing in cucumber seeds which grew in the compost pile & Potato peelings with the eyes on. Never throw meats, or milk, sour creams, insecticides, weed control chemicals into your compost. With the right weather conditions the compost will germinate vegetable seeds so easily you'll be amazed. I now have a smaller 3 bin composter made of wood in my yard taking up little space. I do container gardens & use my compost for fertilizer. I have saved money buying all kinds of fertilizers & I mean to say I bought lots of them granular & liquid from 1 lb to 5 lb bags or ozs to qts in liquid. I buy some seeds & purchase plants for transfering to large containers of 1 gal to 25 gal containers. Compost is my main way to fertilize my plants.

Thank you for com-posting this video 😝

For the front slats I now permanently attach the lower two. I find it stabilizes the entire rig. And I never have to remove the lower two boards when stirring or emptying. Just thought I'd share.

[officemayhemanthony]

Awesome build with great information! Excellent quality build!

[dianeenanoria]

This is the easiest one I've seen on line. I am getting ready to buy the materials and make these bins. My question is that I live in the rain country where it rains all the time. I was hoping to find your next video and the pattern and how to do the covering for them.

[OurBackwoodsHomestead]

Very good build, I made 3 similar to yours out of pallet wood. I do need to put some boards like you have on the front.

[SoohNabis]

2021, with the cost of wood that have exploded, this thing, could easely cost around 150$ to build here in Canada. great video, it got me some ideas of how to do my own.

[clarenicholson]

Great compost bins - and well constructed!! :)

[whez]

Thank you for the video. Would this work if I build it out of plywood instead as I have lots of it?

[thetacountry]

Very nice! I’m about to do something like this myself!

[luraleerocks]

Exactly what I was looking for!! thanks so much
